So the Mormon Church has created an endowment instead of corruptly spending the tithes on trifles and graft for their leaders, in preparation to help their members when needed and continue their operations in times of scarcity. I see this as a very smart thing, not nefarious. Not any more “scandalous” or hidden than the Harvard endowment.

Mormons are well aware the Church uses its tithes to invest. Much of this thread’s comments are little more than ignorant and bigoted attacks on Mormons and Christians.

Please call out such. I'm sure dang and the mods would prefer to keep bigotry out of HN.

Especially if you are referring to my comments, I would like to be told where my expressions and observations are being perceived as bigotry. I love my currently Mormon family deeply and work hard to not push them away, despite their actions towards me.


Not you, I’m thinking specifically of certain comments that are using this thread as a thinly veiled excuse to attack Mormonism and even Christians in general.

I’m not Mormon myself but I have Mormon family members and the openly upvoted bigotry disturbs me.
