Nice... Slight nitpick though. The inbreeders in your picture are from North Carolina and Drippy LaDouche is from South Carolina, GoodK.

But I wonder how the situation would be different if, instead of discussing an LDS family, we were discussing a family of Jehovah's Witnesses where the daughter had died because they refused a life-saving blood transfusion? Or the family of a Christian Scientist who died as a result of refusing all medical treatment and totally relied on divine power? I wonder if our offense at Goodk's thoughts are colored by the degree to which we share the beliefs of his family.



Mormons take no such extreme or irrational positions on the subject of disease and healing, so the analogy is rather weak.

People who have the hubris to declare they have the One True Church and the One True Priesthood with the One True Power to Heal ought not to have such extraordinarily thin skins. I mean, really, this is such a horrific attack????



Interesting that one who has the hubris to assert that God does not exist would accuse others, who simply humbly testify that he does, of hubris.

One wonders why simply making the claim to having the one true church implies hubris? There is a one true physics, mathematics, and chemistry, yet no one accuses physicists, mathematicians, or chemists of hubris when they assert as much.

Why the discrepancy?

Let me simply part by apologizing for everything I am, everything I have, and everything I've done.


And now you think everything s just hunky dory eh?

You're right. Something is wrong with my computer.

When I search "pictures++insane religious idiot who posts under the name Droopy" these two images keep popping up:

I'm guessing the first picture is Droopy before he converted to Mormonism...

This is by far the funniest thing you have ever said. I half expect you to have passed away by the time I post this, as you could never possibly dream of topping this.

Everyone asks these questions at one time or another in their lives. Evidently it's a non-issue for you now.


Yes, this particular thing is not, not in any substantive way. I still ask myself the question now and then, in the sense of wondering regarding specific circumstances and conditions, but not as to the overarching plan and its purpose.


GoodK doesn't agree with what you've accepted (and neither do I).


That doesn't excuses his behavior.

I feel like maybe GoodK (and I) seem to be suffering by comparison here. You sound pretty confident, but don't you ever get tired of your cape getting snagged on all sorts of things?


No. Since I can fly, I stay out of the underbrush.

I've healed and been healed. At one time in my life this type of event was as natural as going for a walk. It worked most of the time.

Even then, I thought it ridiculous the frenzied attempts of my priesthood holding peers to administer multiple times. To me, it demonstrated faithlessness, or lack of a connection. Jesus said his Father doesn't listen any better because of our much speaking.

God isn't a teenager. You shouldn't have to ask (or command) more than once. If he is a teenager, well, that would explain a lot of things, wouldn't it?


Good heavens. Coming to such conclusions about what God should or shouldn't do, or should or shouldn't be like. Hmmm, sounds like...hubris...
