Somebody is certainly imposing a different meaning.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
Sub, I agree with your self delusional argument. I was attributing to an external supernatural being, promptings to guide my decisions that I now attribute to either some human ability to "intuit" things, or internal sources.
But if so, I am by your estimation in good company; the very pivotal Joseph Smith himself, who by his own admission could not differentiate between: internal, heavenly, and devilish inspiritive sources.
