I have also heard this variant: "We like believing what we believe." I wouldn't argue with that.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostI have no additional commentary.

One time when I was 8, I had really bad mono because this chick at school sneezed on me. I ended up with a 104 temperature an an enlarged spleen, and I was walking around the house delirious. (No joke--I was completely out of it and peeing in strange places.)Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostYou mean having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof?
In retrospect, it was probably more severe because I also had inflammatory bowel disease. My dad gave me a blessing and I totally snapped out of the delirium. Ten years ago, I had to have emergency surgery when my small intestine perforated and I became septic. My Mormonish dad put my name on the temple prayer list thingy, which I thought was strange at the time, especially since my family is pretty secular.
Hope is a powerful thing. I have never denied the power of that blessing or the prayer roll, but I have come to view them differently. I wouldn't say that I deny the power. I just view these things without superstition.That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C. Hitchens

“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
― W.H. Auden
"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
-- Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

You can't victimize the willing.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostI like being a victim of Mormonism."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
