Is Mormonism Reality?

[_Yoda]

My goodness, you have a frequent critic of me on this board who admits how profoundly her life was changed by watching the Matrix. I'll bet if you look on her bookshelf you're not going to see Paradise Lost, Inferno, Shakespeare, Beowulf, Tolstoy or Dickens. Or the works of humanists and atheists, such as Schweitzer, Durant, Gibbons or Russell.

You know what, Bob? You're not smug...you're just a first class prick.

Although I don't have a Juris Doctorate like your highness, I have a Bachelor's degree in Music, and a Master's degree in Computer Science. I've been teaching in higher education for the past seven years.

I have read most of Shakespeare's work. Charles Dickens is one of my favorite authors, as is J.R.R. Tolkien. I also love Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton.

First of all, I didn't say that "The Matrix" changed my life. I said it was an eye opening movie for me.

Have you watched "The Matrix"?

If you had, then you would know what the hell I was talking about.

Runtu's OP addressed reality, perception, and how a person's perception is their reality. That theme is dealt with over and over again throughout "The Matrix" movie.

I was going to come back and comment more later about the parallels. I regretted leaving my post as a one-liner, but I actually had work to do.

Your RDD (Reading Deficit Disorder) is clearly kicking in. I told you before that I primarily come to this board to socialize, and yes, most of my conversation is on the lighter side.

However, I find it interesting that when you and I do engage, I kick your arrogant ass all over the board which galls you to no end.

Does that mean you're not going to share your fruit roll-ups with him? ;)

He can sneer at The Matrix all he likes, it doesn't change the fact that those of us who are seeking find new and enlightening ideas everywhere we look, while in his sad reality he can only allow himself to see what will prop up his religion. It was kind of him, though, to demonstrate so nicely what Runtu was talking about in his OP.

Actually, Mok was mistaken...I don't have fruit roll ups...I have Godiva chocolates...but I only share with friends...so yes, he's out of the loop!

Bob's still stinging from when I did actually engage him and made him look rather foolish on this thread:
