Try making your posts more consise, I'm not even sure where to start with you here. Maybe take some of the emotion out of it, I'm sure there's a response buried under all the algorithm-friendly terminology you threw at me in what I can only assume was a common internet tantrum. Work on it and get back to me.

I get what you're saying, and it seems we agree for the most part, but going into "objective falsehoods" when it comes to religion is just silly. Either you hold the Mormons to a different standard than, say, Islam or Buddhism, in order to better rationalize an underlying bigotry against the group, or you're just being deceptive here. No religion can really be verified, that's kinda the point of the whole faith thing. If you think all religions are the result of "objective falsehoods" that's fine, it just comes across in your post like mormons specifically believe in falsehoods, as opposed to, say, jews or scientologists.
There's a lot of nice mormons out there and you should try to meet them. The whole "throw you to the wolves" bunk is really just the kind of hysteria that blows around on reddit, getting spun in different ways as an attention-grabbing stereotype is crafted. Remember, Nazis don't hate for shits and giggles, they hate because of the "reasons" they have to hate. They found ways to rationalize being the "good guys", fighting evil. They kind of think like you. And me, and everyone else. That's the scary thing about it, I guess.
Also, again, totally agree with the whole algorithm-tech-government-hellscape thing, been saying myself since Obama or even before. It's a real nightmare, playing on the quantified emotions of people who've been stuck into internet boxes and made to spiral for the sake of engagement. Maybe some newfound social philosophy will take over, maybe we'll just tear each other apart because the machines told us to.
Ether way, it's rough, and just about universal.
That said, the new deal was a scam, bro. Don't care about the LDS church, I'm not a Mormon, but fucking Carl's Jr can do a better job at managing things than the new deal, that shit's done irreparable damage to California already.
