OK? Is this meant to somehow absolve mormonism's long and well documented record of being an abusive cult? (which the "leaders" are ultimately in no small part responsible for?)



Abusive is very far from my personal experience. It is the best influence in my and my extended family's life. Generally, it seems like those who are most happy and most educated are usually the most active. It takes a lot of work to build something that lasts across the generations. We are taught service to others, forgiveness, and kindness. It has brought me and my wife peace and a sense of security despite health and others of life's expected challenges.

There is more at my web site (in profile, tech-simple, nothing for sale).


It was a response to the following:

No, it was just stating the fact that they seem to have technical expertise.


You can admire them for their competence.

Mormons are spiritually pure amoral capitalists. Religion united with wealth and politics. A Perfect American Religion.
