Thanks!

It’s a delicate dance.

But it is worthwhile I think. I suppose I need to be careful not to say anything to offend. Even if it might be innocuous, low key, or some poor attempts at being facetious.

As far as “appearance “ is concerned I can only speak for myself. I have free will. And I’m not trying to keep up appearances. 🙂😉
If a 40 year old man tells you that he is a 19-year old girl, regardless of his appearance, would you believe him?

Is he mentally ill or of sound mind? Not that it matters. Either way I would not believe him.

Do you think I should? Why?

This post along with others I’ve seen from you cause me to think that you have delusions of grandeur. You’re not alone. Hitler was like that. Time will tell, if it already hasn’t, whether or not Trump suffers from the same.

You’re in good company. 😉

And if he doesn’t have free will, which I assume you think is the case, then he’s not responsible for having made that statement.

Opens a wide vista of possibilities, doesn’t it?

I would argue that the moral responsibility you feel to Mormon God makes less sense to me than if you were to feel a moral responsibility to the Sun.

At least the Sun exists, and could theoretically communicate its moral framework to us via electromagnetic radiation. Mormon God on the other hand communicates exclusively through mortal men who claim to speak for him. Men who want 10 percent of your income, and the founder wanted your wife too.

I think a little skepticism about your moral framework is reasonable.
