I agree with you here. If I reached the conclusion that the BoM was just a bit of inspired fiction, well then I'd move on and be 10% richer. |

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table. David Hume could out consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raisin' of the wrist. Socrates himself was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day! Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, and Hobbes was fond of his Dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed. |

I like being Mormon, and I believe it's a great way to live. I believe it makes me a much better person than I would be otherwise (which is scary), and that's what makes the Church so true to me. It also is important to me that the Church advocates searching for truth, "let it come from whence it may." (JS) It's like the Genesis story. If someone proves to me that the Earth wasn't created in 6 days, or that God really didn't keep a dude alive in the belly of a whale for three days, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape over it. I like being Mormon, and I have had enough spiritual experiences in my life to make it unimportant whether something was written to describe literal events or written as a parable. I'm not saying that I automatically accept scripture as a parable...nor do I automatically accept scripture as literal. I'm merely saying that the distinction is unimportant to me. I'm also not saying it should be unimportant to RockyBalboa or anyone else. It's just the way I feel personally. |
