So who is the BH Roberts of today?"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I liked the quote. Of course it puts us in that uncomfortable gray (or is it grey? I never know) area, but if you like the quote, you're probably already firmly planted in the gray/grey anyway.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

No I didn’t. I implied that you lack nuance. BH Roberts is a hero in many ways. I revere the guy which is why I hate his words being misrepresented.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"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. UchtdorfComment

I think it relates very well to the discussion we had. ymmv."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

BH Roberts is sayin “Keep it real. Don’t be a hyperreligious freak!”
I agree. Great advice. Thanks BH!Comment

The BH Roberts references here reminded me of a presentation I gave in a religion class at BYU regarding the League of Nations. My googling rabbit hole led me to the quote below from Dialogue. I didn't realize that BH Roberts was the first member of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-c..._V09N02_27.pdfLet us hope that as an emergency policy it will meet with such success as will place the people in a position to construct a new economic policy, for a new age, to take the place of the capitalistic system and its spirit, wherein shall exist more equality and more justice than in the age now passing; a policy wherein there will be a more consistent division of the profits of the conjoint products of capital and labor than heretofore; where the wealth produced by that conjoint effort shall not forever flow into the possession of the "one" while the "ninety and nine" have but empty hands!""I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Grey and gray are both accepted in the English language. They refer to a color of a neutral tone between black and white, and can also be used metaphorically to convey gloom and dullness. However, gray is the more popular spelling in the US, while grey reigns supreme in the UK.

Why would you call that uncomfortable? I think it describes an honest, sustainable approach to faith. The two extremes described in the last paragraph of the BHR quote = what you would call black and white, and neither approach is healthy or sustainable.Originally posted by Green Monstah View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
