Presumption and Assumption

Post by yellowstone123 »

Add, I never understood of the word presumption, where I was led to the word assumption. A differenrt view then entered my mind.

When I was young, I mixed up the words "implicit" and "explicit." That's a worse case, since those words are opposites. At least "assumption" and "presumption" are close in meaning.

Another pair easy to confuse are "continual" and "continuous." It's the difference between a repeating pattern on one uninterrupted thing.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Think of the difference between LDS apologetics and the Bronx Zoo.

The way I remember it is that gorilla warfare involves more princesses and Italian plumbers.

I actually didn't know or understand presumption until Spencer Kimball used it in a letter to my Hero, Stuart Udall saying blacks will get the priesthood when the Lord reveals it and not until then. The way I see it is, stay in your own lane. You are a public servant but WE are the Lords appointed. Don't write a letter to President O'kay suggestion blacks get the Priesthood which also means older black males get a say in where temples are built, what land to buy, and all other administrative decisions.
