    Awesome thread. What happened to Nathan? 47 posts and then gone, like ships passing in the night.

    This comment especially:

    Obviously Shrek is a fictional movie. Encountering the Spirit while watching it is not confirmation of it being “true” in the sense that an ogre named Shrek lives in a swamp. But that is sort of what most members of the Church do with the Book of Mormon. Because they feel the Spirit, the Book is a real history. To me, that misses the point. It is great to wonder about the historicity of the BofM. It is COMPLETELY fine to believe it is historical. I mean that sincerely. But in the end, that isn’t really the point. Religion is the science of crafting a meaningful human experience.

    Find Shrek funny but not spiritually inspiring…

    This is an interesting topic. I don’t get concerned by feeling the Spirit at seemingly odd times. I cried and felt the Spirit when reading “The Outsiders” as a teenager. Not because the book is “true,” but because Johnny sacrificed himself for the children in the burning building. It was an example of a heroic deed. That’s all.
