His faith to us mere earthlings looks a lot like a nod and wink wild card.
Mormons, like Mitt, can waffle with impunity.
And so if the church looks like it’s going to get embarrassed by a change in popular mores? That’s when the “Prophet” kicks in and wangles a new dispensation or whatever. Of COURSE it’s all phony. I’m just saying there also seems to be even less substantive content to it than most would believe.
I see it as a typical cult built to produce income, a business wearing the veneer of a religion that creates and shapes good worker bees for it.
