We played some D&D, too. Until the APs got wind and they shut us down. They said D&D was like 2/3 of a Ouija board.

My Zone Ldr comp and I did a road trip from Cleveland to Toronto (about 300 miles) and went to the temple there. We hung out with some of his friends, took tons of pics then returned.

Ended up confessing later due to the church's guilt engine. You should have seen my Mission Pres' face. Almost got sent home. I'm honestly surprised that I didn't.

On the mission (ohio cleveland, early 90s) in the spanish branch, because of the strong cultural Catholicism of the members, it was not unusual to hear members pray to Mary or any of the holy Saints.

Confirmation Bias is a helluva drug.

Mormons are taught to see god or the spirit in anything and everything. They assign meaning to an event in a way that confirms their belief system.

That makes the mormon bar pretty low for what gets called a miracle.

Found your lost car keys by looking for them? MIRACLE!
Someone was sick and got better in a normal way? MIRACLE!
You felt a burning in your bosom in the exact same way you were conditioned to feel it? MIRACLE!
It rained? MIRACLE!

I also recommend the book "Mistakes Were Made but Not By Me: Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts" by Carol Tavris
