We must do so to even begin to understand, or for that matter argue over, such matters.

I personally find Mormon doctrine and philosophy to be singularly pragmatic in this respect. Very few Mormon intellectuals have sequestered themselves in a Tibetan monastery to discover the meaning of the universe by contemplating the lint in their navel for five decades. We learn about the truths of life by living them and in engaging the world. We cannot concern ourselves with things outside the sphere of knowable, simply because we don't have the luxury of time. There are far too many pressing imperatives for me to attend, to attach any priority to lengthy philosophizing about other universes or alternative realities. I'm keeping pretty busy just watching the trail out ahead. For today, I worship my Heavenly Father in this life, give thanks for His great plan of salvation, and the mercy extended to me in the atonement of Jesus Christ. I'm pretty clear on these particulars, and adding others day by day, as I can manage. --- Mij Ebaboc ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
