Profound Thoughts: Asking the Spirit

You know what is the most hitched thing ever? Girls asking the spirit for dating questions. I mean seriously? When did that become a legal maneuver. I understand all is fair in love and war... but asking the spirit is low. Imagine for example that things aren't going great in a relationship. One day, she drops the "I think we should see other people". You ask how come? And she responds something in the vein of going to the temple/fasting/talking to their bishop, and then ends in them being on their knees, praying about their relationship. "The spirit told me".

I mean, what do you say to that? It's not even a discussion at that point. I mean, what do you say? "Hey, I was wondering if you could ask... you know... the spirit again. Maybe take a rain check on this break up for now?" I mean, its not like something you can work on, because the blame is totally displaced. The blame isn't on you, it's definitely (heaven forbid) not on her, no its on the spirit. And you can't blame the SPIRIT!

Moral of the story, girls and guys, own up. Relationships work and don't work based on you and the significant (or insignificant) other. Leave the spirit out of it, if you care about it being a fair fight.
