What question was that?

Really? I asked it in the post before this one. I doubt you really missed it, but I have asked it more then a couple times with you ignoring it like you have with the questions about the catalyst theory. Not surprised since you cannot really defend the idea of faith as a positive trait for false or fraudulent beliefs.

I'm still missing it. Sorry. Maybe you could post it again?

I did find this question:

How is this faith a good thing, or good trait, when it is the same faith Scientologists have, or other people who have faith in the claims of frauds?

But I chose not to answer it with all of the other 'chatter' that's been going on. It didn't interest me at the time enough to spend time with it.

Is it this question that's a big deal for you or some other? You said something having to do with "catalyst". Please post that question again. I honestly either missed it or it was something that was posted before I took one of my 'breaks' a week or so ago.

Thanks,
MG

Individual experiential modes of accessing truth. For me, it's been life long study, prayer, thought, investigation, comparison, and trying to look at the 'big picture'.

I have a question wrote:What eggs do you place in baskets outside of Mormonism?

I think that I've mentioned a number of times, although most people don't read what I have to say...it's gobbledygook according to grindael, and I'm sure by others...that I see the world as one great WHOLE. The restoration of keys of authority and associated ordinances are one piece of that whole. An important part. The most important part, however, being Jesus Christ and the atonement which He made for the eventual salvation and/or exaltation of all those who chose to follow/participate in the Father's Plan. But that plan is BIG. It has something for everyone and is costumed designed for each individual.

So there are LOTS of baskets outside of Mormonism. Mormonism is a piece of a larger puzzle/whole.

MG

Or you were too busy trolling other people to comprehend anything you read. Yeah, that's it.

drw,
You seem to either consciously ignore or be ignorant of the fact that spirituality, beauty, & intuition are personal, subjective experiences. So there is no “evidence” to prove what you believe to be beauty or spirituality, Silly!

This is ridiculous grindael.

Troll.

You have misquoted me again. As such, you are again being exposed as a liar. What does that say about you?

What else are you willing to do besides falsely attribute something to me that I didn't say?

Can you be trusted?
