    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      He's one step away from a closer truth - God doesn't care about him at all.

        Clack, that is a little nihilistic . You may be in need of another letter to elder Bednar.

          Nihilism is the default mode of a multi-verse reality. When everything that can happen - happens - nothing matters - because everything needs to happen and is accounted for in the long play of our "becoming like God" learning. Such is the price of omnipotence. God doesn't actually care, because caring is a useless emotion because when we all signed off on the addendum's of our "going to earth contract" in the preexistence, we signed off on God caring about us till we get back. God doesn't care, but He does love us - like His Son - enough to sacrifice us - like His Son - so that we can churn and grind our way through the meat grinder of a multi-verse universe and come out celestial hamburger patties on the other end. A billion plus homogenized earthly experiences, all ground up and packaged into a new data set - which has a new name on the other side.

          Caring is a useless emotion the weak use to manipulate a desired outcome. Caring means you don't understand God's love for you. God does not literally care what kind of a day you are having in this dimension, because in another dimension you're having a great day. He can't afford to care about one dimension and not the other - so He chooses to care about neither. He doesn't have the time, because time quit existing for Him 2000 years ago, and it all evens out in the end. It's just the way it is.... why should He worry about what kind of day I'm having.

          I'm down tonight - but not out. I'll be better tomorrow.

            I care about you, clack, even if you perceive that God doesn't.

                                I'm telling you, there is something seriously wrong with a lot of the LDS dudes in Portland. I only served in four areas, and I know three dudes from church who are currently in prison for this type of garbage (one got baptized right before I came in the area; the other I helped to reactivate and baptized his stepkids; the other was a creepy MFer in the ward who entered a plea bargain and is now ticked that thirty years with no eligiblity for parole until year 20 really means he has to be in prison for 20 years and is claiming ineffective assistance of counsel).
