    I've been outed.
    BTW, I believe it's "electronic gender avatar dysphoria", or EGAD.

    Vort's online gender avatar dysphoria*, however, is obviously demonic possession, all the way.  No unpossessed person would ever have such an avatar (not even the person who posed for the picture).  
     
    * OGAD, for short

    Yep, Jojo Bags is waaay out in the fringes of thought on this topic.  Healthy skepticism is good, gut-reaction anti-science demonization of a culture due to a strawman argument that things must be either blessings or medicine?  Not good.   
    (Jojo, by the way, still waiting for your response in your anti-nuclear-power discussion here.)

    In case you missed NeuroTypical's post from Elder Morrison of the Seventy. Wondering if you are disagreeing with him? (meaning, Elder Morrison)

    I think that people on our religion have plenty of faith and believe in the power of the priesthood.  There is no myth about doctors and drug helping us.  
    Lets talk about modern day miracles, in the last 200 years Science has cured Measles, mumps, polio, whooping cough, small pox, the list goes on and on.  In the 1st world we have eradicated these  diseases.  We have gotten so good at it that people think that they shouldn't vaccinate.  Look at the treatments we have for cancer, heart disease, and HIV. Contrary to what you think Miracles are just as common now as they were in the days of Christ. 
    On the subject of mental health we understand more about it now than we ever have, the treatments and programs that we have for the mentally afflicted HELP people in need.  Don't worry there is still room for faith and the healing power of the priesthood, we don't have all the answers and still need Gods hand to help us out.

    I ignore them and do my calling as best I can.  But I also have a personality that will push back when they are idiots.  That has made things...interesting...a time or two.

    Yeah...some people listen so much better when you have them in a painful joint lock.
    Bishops don't like it when you do that, though, so make sure there aren't any witnesses, and you leave them too scared to tattle.

    No, just donuts.  They compromise and let the Mormon cops have hot chocolate or Postum instead of coffee.

    Because he was out of blue dye?  Because everyone knows "grey" is the way the more educated among us spell "gray", so clearly the brain should be grey rather than gray?  Because all the brighter colors were already claimed?  Inquiring minds want to know.

    I agree with Carb. Speaking from personal experience, as a boy I was pretty much "fully functional" from the age of four or even earlier -- except of course that I was sexually immature and could not have been a father. But everything else, including explicit sexual attraction to and desire for girls my age, was present. I have never understood the insistence that some have made that children are asexual. That simply is not so.
