"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Do you ever see an old post of yours and have no memory at all of writing it? I hate that feeling. It only happens to me every once in a great while fortunately. Maybe it happens for posts dashed out during a conference call.
Still, I have yet to see a post I regretted.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Lol @ athiests who think the Spirit can't provide knowledge. Don't atheists believe in science!

In all seriousness, I remember him referring to vasodilation as a component of the 'warm fuzzies' of the spirit, so he linked manifestations of the spirit with parasympathetic effects."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Seems like as good a place as any for the motion: "Death is Not Final" a debate featuring "Proof of Heaven" author Eben Alexander, today at 6:45 ET. http://fora.tv/event/death_is_not_final/livestream
Looking forward to Eben exploding all of the atheist propaganda in this thread!
