For every Mormon who got a boner from Moroni, there are THOUSANDS of other who receive the same feeling about being born again, following Allah, becoming a nun or priest or minister, becoming a Buddhist.
I responded:
MG: bypassing your apparent fixation on sexual references, why is that?, I would question whether you have any expertise as to what constitutes a spiritual witness...period. If that be the case, your statement carries very little weight, as you really don't have a clue as to what an investigator's spiritual witness consists of vs. a feeling/witness that others may have in response to their own personal inquiries/journeys in regards to things of a religious nature. You seem to be saying that if a spiritual feeling/witness comes to an investigator of the LDS church or member of the church, then that would in some way negate the possibility of others outside of the LDS church having spiritual promptings, or in many cases feelings that may be purely psychological in nature as they make choices. Why?
If you feel the need to respond to this post using sexual innuendo or reference, that's OK. If that's who you are, go with it. I heard my share of it in the drum section way back in high school.
PP didn't respond, but I'd be interested in what others may think in reponse to the question I asked PP. Also, should we reject spiritual experiences that some may have as they investigate the LDS church, or the experiences that many within the church have, simply because having spiritual inclinations/feelings (whether they are psychologically manufactured or not) seem to be a universal trait of mankind?
PP seems to do so.
