Purple Pills? YUMMY!!!
Actually purple gummies in the shapes of Bushman, the Givenses, etc. They recently had a recall to remove the Bill Reel shaped gummies.
And I believe the UT legislature (or was it LDS-Inc.?) just passed a law that says all gummies must now be odorless, flavorless and colorless. To protect the young-un's you know?

I take three pills every day. Whenever I study I still ask myself, if the Church was true would this (various topic) make sense? If Christianity was true would this (topic) make sense? If materialism/deism/atheism was true would this (topic) make sense? It's called exploring the marketplace of ideas. Generally, Materialism makes the most sense, but I love the Christian Story and perspective. The LDS world view is appealing because it helps me empathize with my family and friends.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Sorry I should google this on my own, but Deacon, how would you describe Materialism? A spiritual concept or consumer goods and retail therapy concept?

Hilarious stuff, ya'll. The two pills are better than acid! If it didn't have the devil's tongue of profanity attached to it, I'd make it the wallpaper of my phone for all the fam to see.
I love this place, and how we can make fun of ourselves.

There are dozens of free websites where you can create your own and use appropriate LDS-Inc. approved profanity. (I fetchin' promise!)

I should clarify that. I mean Materialism in the sense that visible world is all there is, there is no spirit world or life after death.

Those were pills? I thought they were candy and I was hungry.
