Well once we prove that spirits exist, then we'll start working on spiritual matters. For now let's just work on equality and higher quality living for all people.

I still don't know what it means.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Only one letter out.

There are some tempting facsimiles at Landover Baptist, but I don't think they're LDS approved.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Wow, it's been a whole three days since I was approached with Pascal's Wager.

Thank you for ruining the streak . . .

Ascension means there are spiritual stages. Some being a higher reality then the others and closer to the sublime utmost reality.
