It's just that I don't think RFM has anything really to offer in this respect inasmuch as having knowledge concerning the three questions I asked Philo that remained unanswered.
Let's review what the three questions were:

Who or what is God? If He exists, what is our relationship to Him? Does He have a plan for His children?
You think that these questions are the most basic things that people need to answer but, in fact, they are based on a series of totally unsupported assumptions:
1) That at least one god exists
2) That there is not more than one god
3) That the god which may exist was not created by some "grandpa in heaven"
4) That the single god which may exist is actually a male
5) That the god which may exist is morally good
6) That moral goodness is a thing which exists independent of the god's existence
7) That humans are the offspring ("children") of this hypothetical male god
8) That the hypothetical god is even aware, much less cares about what tiny, short-lived, insignificant beings like us think or want
9) That finite, insignificant humans could ever come into contact or know the mind of being(s) that exist outside of space-time
10) That Judaism is not a madeup variant of Canaanite paganism, itself a descendant of superstitious desert animist beliefs
11) That ancient Christianity was actually Mormonism, even though there is literally zero evidence for this
12) That Mormonism is not a mishmash of American and European Protestant philosophies blended with 19th century frontier superstition and primitive scientific understandings.
To say that one does not know the cosmic answers is actually the height of humility. To believe that you personally know these answers is the height of arrogance. To say that you believe some stuffy old men in Salt Lake know these answers is extremely gullible. They have no way of knowing the answers to your questions. They certainly cannot make arguments for the assumptions upon which your questions are predicated.
