It takes a certain level of haughty arrogance to somehow think that your S--- doesn't stink, and that somehow you are above it all, too good for it and on a higher "spiritual" plane.

Avoiding coffee, tea and alcohol in no way makes a person "not of the world", nor does pious and mechanical religious rites / observances in front of others once a week (or less).

There is nothing that Bednar, Mormons, or you and I do that is "not of this world". It is ALL of this world, every bit of it.

Case in point


Classic subby. Make an assertion and never define it so as to avoid defending it. Can't stand the heat of actually supporting any of his assertions.

No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

An anagram is where one rearranges the letters in a word to make a new word. In this case the anagram may be "a fool".
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I think You believe me that I know what anagram is...

Unfortunately, language plays as anagram, pun, amphigory, nonsense verse are hard tasks for a foreigner.
Our language is rich in these areas - as all language around the world, but our field is always more green!

An example:
Winnie the Pooh --- everybody know the name.
She is Micimackó in Hungarian.
Mici is the hypocorism of given names M~something in Hungarian (Miriam, Maria, Mary etc.)
"maci" is the second level fondling of bear.
medve - mackó - maci (=bear, teddy bear, more fondled teddy bear)

Got it?
After "Mici", the audience associate to "maci" - but comes "mackó".
Something similar logic, as Milne's one:
"But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think – but I am not sure – that that is why he is always called Pooh."
(by the way Milne uses the words "he", "his", even Winnie is a female name...)

And something more offtopic...
What is common in Winnie the Pooh and John the Baptist?
Their middle name.

Well, this is a test of the word censor:

lófasz !!!

ló = horse
fasz = penis, using the most dirty version of the word
