Some good books on a lot of stuff, "forgive me for saying so"

Nibley's viewpoints marked him as atypical of Mormon stereotypes. He was an active Democrat and an ardent conservationist, and often criticized Republican policies. He was strongly opposed to the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War during an era "when it was very unpopular in LDS culture to do so." I actually have 8 of the books shown here. I really like reading what he has to say. He wrote in that the purpose of life on earth was to be tested but that above all the two things that we can be good at are to "Forgive and Repent". He said that even the Angels envy our ability on Earth to Forgive and Repent". Thinking some on this I was reminded of a comment I just read actually where Religion often invites OCD behavior. This probably is due to the fact that "Religion" suggests that we can ourselves be perfect or at least that we should. On the other hand the real core of religion is that we can be forgiven. Nibley hit the nail on the head suggesting that the thing of most worth would be to Forgive and Repent. Mostly folks don't get OCD over these two goals. On the other hand maybe we should.
