It can't all be spiritual and uplifting in here.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Falafel, I recommend that you pick up a copy of Planted by Patrick Mason. It is a great treatise on faith and doubt in an LDS context and one of the main features of the book is dealing with LDS history. Mason is a history prof (formerly at ND, now at Claremont) so he is particularly good at exploring those issues. Also an excellent writer."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I should pick that up too. The title is exactly right. Single word with all kinds of implications in this context.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostFalafel, I recommend that you pick up a copy of Planted by Patrick Mason.

My advice is to find out what he wants to show you before you freak out
"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

I might even have a copy of that book. Before we were deemed beyond saving, we would periodically get various LDS books in the mail from my in-laws.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostFalafel, I recommend that you pick up a copy of Planted by Patrick Mason.

I didn't say we wanted or didn't want it. We just would periodically get books in the mail. I think it would have been unkind to reject the mail.Originally posted by BigPiney View PostIf you don't want it, I'll take it.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

I read your post wrong. I thought you said if you don't want it, don't take it. I was expecting a sarcastic remark. I am happy to give most of our various religious books to people who want homes for them. I'll see if this is one we did get.Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
