Stop it, just stop it. I'm going to blow out a frontal lobe here trying to deal with the inner turmoil you are causing.
I liked you better when you were obsessing over whether or not your child would get into the elite private elementary school (with room enough for a pony). That is the SU I've become accustomed to pointing at and saying, "See, that's exactly what happens to those people."
How did that turn out? I hope he got in.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
