It never ceases to amaze me what kind of crap people can come up with when left to their own devices. “Undoubtedly” … please 🙄

Is it anymore “crap” than the original poster’s question? We have all heard this comment in Church meetings (handicapped individuals were choice spirits). Is the quote above “crap” because it makes us feel uncomfortable and the other quote isn’t because it makes us feel “better”?

The belief in a pre-existence and a spiritual creator is a monumental portion of my spirituality, but in this world/lifetime it is all human speculation. We have no idea if either of the statements are “truth”, nor do we have any idea if the principle of the pre-existence is truth. If Harold B. Lee believed what he believed and said what he said and it made him feel better, then I can’t change that. The same can be said about the original poster’s beliefs. This is the painful and wonderful thing about beliefs. They are personal and and often not doctrinal.
