An interesting response. Think of a few people you consider to be fanatics. Now, can you imagine them admitting to you that they are fanatics?

Wouldn't it be just like a fanatic to abruptly deny the accusation of fanaticism? Your response isn't proof that you are a fanatic, but quite consistent with the possibility.

I think I did compare spirituality and spiritual maturity to light along a spectrum.
No you don’t. You are lying. You know exactly what you said about spiritual autism. You doubled down on it and trebled down on it and quadrupled down on it. Stop lying and take responsibility for your own poor behaviour.

Note: Any response to this should be kind and of a peacemaking tone, as per the counsel from Nelson that you valued enough to recommend to the board.

Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you! I just can’t wrap my head around the idea of Fibber lying.

No, that's not correct. Here's what the Mental Gymnast said...

...My point is the spiritual autism is the inability of any one individual to have a full connection with spiritual practice of a community.
And here's a typical response:

Please stop. This is getting worse. Almost to the point of revulsion. You absolutely can not equate disabled people integrating with mainstream society with a spiritual realm. You have no evidence that these adaptive strategies are parallel to a spiritual foggy lens. It is offensive and horrific to all the people who have disabled kids.
This isn’t the complete context. That conversation had a lot more to it. As is par for the course you are making it what you will so as to fit your narrative.

I’m pretty sure I did. As I said to Marcus, that was a rather long discussion.

No you’re not. Marcus has even quoted you so there’s zero chance that you are in any doubt about what you said.

Whole thread talks about ‘spiritual autism’. Rivendale blew a gasket. Be prepared.
