Your “context” is a crap show of muddled thinking, contradictions, and logical fallacies. Your god is a fickle trickster at best, and a downright evil bastard at a minimum. Your “church” denied the atonement to innocent children (what happened to original sin?) and protects child rapists. It’s an evil, rapacious organization. Only egotistical dupes like you can go in circles for decades believing the lies you’ve told. It’s utterly pathetic.

Isn’t it wonderful to be able to express your opinion?

It is indeed a wonder.
A wonder I wish every for Millennial and younger generation of Mormons and Mormon-adjacents to witness and digest in its full incredulity.
Your ‘god’ is monstrous MG, and unworthy of any worship.
It is my hope that you get every attempt available- every fireside, every lecture, to share your defence with my fellow <30-something’s
I want you to see the pain, confusion, and anger registering across our faces as we follow the reasoning of the preceding debate(s) to their logical conclusion.
I want it to register within your skull, the full horror of what my generation, and generations after are experiencing as it dawns upon us that “our caps have actually got little pictures of skulls on them”, and that our best, rigorous defence of this is the conjuration of a bloody, and negligent, scarecrow-of-a-god. And then I want you to witness as one-by-one, rumour-by-Mormon-rumour, many (if-not-most) of us leave, ‘quietly quit’/mentally tap out, and/or become less-active.
All of this- just because the church cannot seem to confront and own its own problem of ‘Prophetic Infallibility’.
(And no, most of us won’t be convinced by any gaslighting on the matter; Pres. Nelson has been quite happy to emphasize the idea that ‘God would never let him lead the church astray’.)
Watch the numbers. Whatever trustworthy statistics we have on church membership and activity.
