"Study it Out"

The ignorant, smug woman Chris Mathews interviewed was using some kind of religious quote. Google "study it out" in quotes and you will see. These people have their own codes that don't make any sense to us but communicate a lot to those who share the same delusional world views they do.

Apparently, it's a Mormon thing.

And it's even creepier in context:

Doctrine and Covenants 9:8

But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.


Yep, that's her attitude. I know what I know because I know it.

Explains a conversation I had not long ago with someone who was part of a group I was helping.
