All I ever said was that the Church teaches that Jesus suffered all of our pains in a way we don't understand. Then, after several pages of you talking about trillions of penises penetrating the Only Begotten Son of God, you said that you believe Jesus suffered all of our pain, but you don't know how and it doesn't matter.

This thread has gone on and on and on because you insist that I am lying about what the LDS Church teaches. Now, you are saying that President Hinckley made "mistakes" about what the Church teaches. If President Hinckley made mistakes, it means that I am right---and he was not accurate---about what the Church teaches.

You just conceded the point of this entire 20-page thread.

I would have to say that most reasonable people would not find your behavior to be honest.

This part is especially true.

Hold on ... is there some kind of a pattern emerging here?

I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

But what could it be here?...What could Simon learn from this?

You're a hopeless romantic idealist.
