Further to Agency Rant - Discussion at Girls Camp

President Daw doesn't like to say Satan's plan. He didn't really have a plan. Lenore calls it the plan and the sham.

I think the sham is that he told us he had an easier way and we could still be happy. This denies accountability, which must be an Eternal law or the other side of the Agency coin. Satan is the Father of lies, uses fear, is manipulative, binds us down through addicitions. He plays upon our lack of Faith and lack of Knowledge. We can overcome that problem by studying and acting on the knowledge we gain.

We have to choose good or evil. When we choose good we eventually receive "all that the Father hath." When we choose evil, Satan can't repay with what we want (to be happy) Our choice and our ability to choose are only taken away.

Since every sin, transgression, misdeed, slight, mistake, imperfection accumulates and adds to the imperfection of this sphere, until the Savior comes and raises it up through the Atonement to the proper fullness of its creation, there are no victimless crimes. Every wrong hurts and degrades the system and makes it worse for all of us who dwell here.
