This just in! Al Jazeera is reporting that all the members of ISIS are feeling all crazy itchy on their left side!
The seed had been planted.
I thought the OP is LDS. This “theory” is nowhere near that church’s theology.
Personal Revelation can lead people to a lot of idiosyncratic beliefs.
I believe it. Right now my quads are killing me, and I’m quite certain it’s god telling me that I put too much weight on the bar when I was doing squats the other day…

He’s a Snark Hunter. I’d say he was successful.
On a completely serious note, as a left-hander who is the son of a left-hander and the father of a left-hander, I’m deeply offended by your “symbolism.”
I’m inactive LDS. My bishop told me I could write a book on the body signals, but they are NOT LDS doctrine.
You needn’t be. I’m somewhat ambidextrous, but that doesn’t mean anything.
Neither does your OP.
The LDS church does not dictate to its membership what the membership can and cannot author. What the members do, on the other hand, may have consequences for continued membership.
Yep.
Nope. Sorry Monty, but you’re wrong on this one.
So if legs symbolize “thoughts” and a person is paralyzed and cannot move their legs (but can feel), what is God talking about here? Is he talking shit??! :mad: Kinda sounds like it to me…
Fine. Prove me wrong. Your OP was essentially content-free. It had a lot of stuff pulled out of a particular orifice (might as well go with the whole “body talk” bit) and attributed that to God speaking to you with your body, basically, being a Ouija board for you to pronounce you got indications from God what you already decided you want. Of course, there’s absolutely no way anyone can disprove that God made your left leg itch in response to a question you asked. That also means that you cannot prove it either.
A betting man would say that you didn’t really listen to your bishop when he told you how this “method” contradicts LDS doctrine.
Oh, come on, Monty. You know better than to use the atheist’s Last Resort argument in a matter of faith.
Then why are you asking for proof?
He said nothing of the kind.
That strikes me as an odd question. You presented your theory in Great Debates. If you actually want to have a debate over a theory, you will eventually have to come up with something to back it up. You claim to be receiving messages from God and you really are surprised that people take that as a bit of a tall tale?
I meant prove me wrong about your OP having any actual meaning. That should’ve been obvious given what I quoted prior.
Of course he didn’t. You didn’t talk to him about it.
Snark– my hemorrhoids itch & burn.
Does that mean I’m going to win the Lottery?
This is also the place for religious witnessing. Who said I wanted a debate?
Actually, I did. I gave him the full 3-page theory.
Fine, fine. You witnessed. What you witnessed is a complete mystery that nobody much cares about or wants to know.
