I'm looking forward to robots :))

Aren't robots people that follow after sin and don't give a rat? Are they people that stomp on the Constitution and don't give a rat? Are they people that vote for the lesser of two evils thinking that one evil is any better than another? Are they people that get hooked on porno and become slaves to it, and can't break away because the temptation is so embedded that they are now robots following after their own lusts? Ya, robots are so enticing aren't they?

I meant the more literal kind, not the metaphorical kind.

I think Sirocco is waiting for this:

I'm sorry you see God as judge of your behavior. I see God as a judge of our character. Blame psychology, neurology, physics or astronomy if you want, but some of the greatest understandings about God come from people who are educated, not ignorant. Ps. God is the greatest psychologist.

Thought this would fit here.

Hmm. The prefix pono- means pain, and the suffix -graphy means writing or recording.

So I guess ponography would refer to that book that Count Rugen was working on in The Princess Bride:

"I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain. Presently I'm writing the definitive work on the subject..."

Porn is the apex of a true capitalistic, neo-con ideal.

or one of these... for totally unrelated purposes however

Incorrect again except for God being the greatest Psychologist. I know a lot about God simply by reading scriptures often as counseled to do. I've been to Psychologists, Psychiatrists, and many other doctors, yet it was Christ who was able to heal me. Earthly doctors cannot even come close to doing the same things God can do. Many, many times they have been confounded because of the power of the [edited, t added] priesthood.
Even a simpleton can come to know God through the Spirit through prayer and study. A prior education has know [edited, k and w removed] bearing with the exception of being able to read. Besides look where Joseph Smith went during his lifetime. He was a poorly educated boy called to be a prophet. He was even aspiring to become the POTUS He learned many things along the way from boyhood to adulthood, through good and harsh experiences. Did he ever have a diploma?

Alma 37:6
6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.

Doctrine and Covenants 64:33
33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.

Isa. 55:8 (8–9)
8 ¶For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
We, the children of God, are the ignorant ones.

Thanks. So I guess the OP is talking about the wrong topic, and every post thereafter. :)) Which is not spiritual in the least bit, btw.

Pain has become prevalent, however.

Christ is the ONLY healer, period. Some therapists or psychologists use Christ, other's do not. Some psychologist use the strength of their education as their source of "power", and in this they do error.
