It has been winding down though. And it has often been necessary to push through the weeds and the underbrush. But that comes with the territory.

You? Anything to add to the discussion at this point?

Your response does not lend itself to a productive/civil conversation and/or discussion. It does lead us down a road that ultimately leads to a cul-de-sac/dead end where we find ourselves going round and round wasting each other's time. Rather than leading us in an unproductive/uncivil direction, you might want to add substantively to the discussion?

No discussion with you, huh?

From a religious standpoint, this is again, near blasphemy to me because it elevates the human being and tells me that the goal of the human being is to achieve personal greatness.

What. the. heck.

Excellent point. That does represent one aspect of the lds religion that results in quite a bit of arrogance, as is shown in the us-versus-them attitude.
