What?
You wanna know what the problems with Mormonism are, MG? The real problems?
What is an "MG" is that some kind of insult?
But please continue, this is the first I've ever heard of the "real problems" of Mormonism. You must be the only one who knows these "real problems."
1) Mormonism is intentionally a low intelligence religion.
The above has absolutely no coherent meaning. Mormonism's promotion of and funding for education is unprecedented, likewise some of the most intelligent people in the world have been and are Mormons. But of course, like Christ, we welcome people of all levels of intelligence. Intelligence, after all, holds a very significant spiritual place in Mormon cosmology. You might say it is the highest intelligence religion that ever existed.
2) It’s unintentionally gauche.
Not unintentionally. We are a peculiar people.
3) It’s a facsimile of the religious history it plagiarizes poorly, and then desecrates (Anubis is a slave? Fuuuuuuuuuuck you.).
Wait, what? What does this even mean? Are you suggesting that Mormonism
is a Book of Abraham facsimile?
Mormonism is the Uncanny Valley of religions.
I don't think that means what you think it means. Do you know what it means?
It’s intentional, because its ‘aesthetic’ is that of a corporation at its core. Mormon leadership, since its inception, worships the dollar, and have defiled Christianity with a grotesque defilement of Jesus’ ministry and example, and replaced it with cheap chapels, carpeted wainscoting, and try-hard temples that look as if they were designed by a sister from Panguitch, UT - all of it to maximize these revenue centers to be as dull as stupid possible while extracting as much money and labor from the flock as possible. Their corporate-speak any given Sunday is as dull and dim as their members are. Who else could dedicate a life to endless pablum taught to children and adults alike? Members revel in their emotional and intellectual mediocrity as if they’re brilliant spiritualists and philosophers - what a foolish people they are.
Of course you have no basis for any of this. Have you ever
been Mormon? Let's take these insane points one at a time:
Mormon leadership, since its inception, worships the dollar, and have defiled Christianity with a grotesque defilement of Jesus’ ministry and example, and replaced it with cheap chapels, carpeted wainscoting, and try-hard temples that look as if they were designed by a sister from Panguitch, UT - all of it to maximize these revenue centers to be as dull as stupid possible while extracting as much money and labor from the flock as possible.
I spent some time trying to parse this sentence--yes one single run-on sentence--that is a mishmash of varying ideas. I'll have to break it up by idea:
Mormon leadership, since its inception, worships the dollar
It seems like you've never been Mormon, so let me explain it to you: we have a lay leadership who don't get paid, with the exception of the general authorities and other officers. They don't "worship the dollar." Do you have any
real reason to believe they do aside from your opinion (which is based, clearly, on having never been Mormon)?
have defiled Christianity with a grotesque defilement of Jesus’ ministry and example, and replaced it with cheap chapels, carpeted wainscoting, and try-hard temples that look as if they were designed by a sister from Panguitch, UT
The meetinghouses are very simple buildings and there are only a few different designs. They server their purpose well and are inexpensive. This saves money, which goes against your "worshipping the dollar" charge. Also, it's not wainscoting; that's made of wood.
And here you are. Talking crap about Riskas.
Yeah, his book is terrible.
This is like a man cursed with a micropenis complaining about Ron Jeremy’s manhood as if the latter is as poorly endowed as the former. It makes no sense, and is so risible that the only thing left isn’t to dissuade the deluded soul, but to simply enjoy the spectacle.

In this whole outburst you have shown that you clearly have no idea what it means to be Mormon.
