I see this word a bit on the board.
A slur.
A descriptor.
Is it okay to be a bit selfish and indulge if it doesn't hurt others?
Thoughts?
The most pressing question; Am I going to hell? ;P
Hedonism?

No you're not going to burn in hell....you're going to freeze in Outer Darkness (or maybe it's the Telstial Kingdom..) but don't worry.....me and Liz are throwing a barbeque down there.....hedonists will fit in nicely with hypocrites and other "real" people who you know....compromise in life.

Screw the kids in Africa....I want a DQ Blizzard, and damnit I'm going to have oreos and heath bars, if it means three people have to starve.

Let me tell you about the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Lazarus was an African child with AIDS. The rich man was a fatty named Bond. Bond was grubbin' on a Blizzard with Heath bars and Oreos one day when he suddenly had a heart attack...
I think you see where I'm going with this. Suffice to say, Bond burned in hell. Forever. And ever. Little Lazarus ate Blizzards for all eternity.
Moral of the story: don't eat too many Blizzards, or you'll have a heart attack. Try to stick with low-cal substitutes, like frozen yogurt.
Oh, I was thinking more about lustful pleasures.
I don't think little Lazarus would mind. But Boyd K. Packer probably would. If that doesn't keep you up at night, I don't know what will.
Totally unrelated sidenote: According to the King Follett Discourse, when babies are resurrected they will have not one inch added to their stature. Wouldn't it be interesting if we found out that our God was an aborted fetus in mortality and he's actually no larger than my thumb? That would explain why he has such a still small voice.

Little Lazarus can kiss my left cheek. I don't even know the punk.
Seriously though: I hate these guilt trips (not that CK isn't joking on this thread) because the dice game of life stuck me in America and him in AIDS Africa.....it's all a crapshoot. He lost, I won. I got other things to be guilty about than whether or not every starving kid gets a blizzard.
