tl;dr: Utah works as a commercial testbed because it's a Mormon theocracy masquerading as a state.

Amen!!! I’ve been saying this to everyone here. The kool-aid is strong though. Stupid theocracies are so damn corrupt. A quick dig into the mormon corporation and it’s 34 billion dollars in liquid assets should raise anyone’s eyebrows but they don’t even twitch at that news. Feels bad man when your family & friends are in a cult.

Please read the Articles Of Faith (and preferably the Book Of Mormon) before discussing corruption in the church.

  1. We are warned, repeatedly, of what happens when individuals and leaders in the church become deceived. We are warned, explicitly, that the "very elect" (read: leaders & role models) will be led astray.

  2. We are warned, repeatedly, that no mortal on this earth is to be relied upon, and that ALL revelation needs to be verified directly by ones personal connection to God. "Blind" faith is actively discouraged.

Instead of judging the church based on the people who flagrantly ignore the teachings and warnings in the Book Of Mormon, I would much rather you judge the church based on the people who are making an honest attempt at living the gospel.

ALL religions have criminals trying to ruin it for the majority. I'm not Mormon and I DO NOT tolerate or agree with others criticizing and mocking your beliefs and choice of religion. If they are true Patriots they support the liberties and freedom of religion in this country. Otherwise they should go to Twitter where hateful remarks are acceptable.
