what are you, some kind of statistical propagandist?

You've carefully cherry picked negative data. Mormons are conservatives. What is your motivation for demonizing them like leftists do? Are they a competitive threat to your religion?

You've carefully cherry picked negative data.

You're funny. Here my point is how incomplete of a social eval you've given Mormons, & what do you accuse me of -- "cherrypicking?"

You're the one who defined the "boundaries" in your comment! You're the one who mentioned marriage & crime rates & wide-open "other metrics," not me!

You're like a prosecuting attorney who doesn't want the conversation to go in a certain direction. Yet your very comments about a subject open the door to that subject. And when the defense attorney now discusses the very subject you brought up, you scream, "Objection! Your honor. Objection!"

Which means by sheer obviousness that you still now wish to carefully, cherrypick-fully, navigate around whatever crime & other metrics that don't measure up to your cardboard cut-out spin presentation.

The very thing you accuse me of -- you are guilty of! You want to ignore reality because it doesn't measure up to this cardboard cut-out image of what you want to present about Mormons!

Facts are stubborn things, my friend!

Mormons are conservatives.

Is being on the leading cutting-edge of white-collar crime a "conservative" trait? How about affinity-based fraud, rampant at epidemic levels within the Mormon church? Is that also a "conservative" trait?

Utilizing depressants? Another "conservative" trait?

And even if we were to discuss the social realties of say, conservative Christians in other regions of the country, does your cookie-cutter limitations consistently keep you from ever mentioning any negatives about people groups?

Aren't you guilty of suppressing reality? Doesn't the Bible discuss in a highly negative way those who suppress the truth? (Romans 1, for example)

And do Mormons "conserve" the number of gods they embrace?

They have a "mom" god...
...They believe their "god" had a "god."
...They believe a "council of gods" selected their "god" to become a "god."
...They believe Jesus & the Holy Ghost are separate "gods."
...Temple Mormons believe they can become "gods."

You wanna tell me that thinking you'll become a "god" is a "conservative" trait? Really?! (From what planet did you arrive?) Or that hundreds, thousands, or millions/billions of gods exist...that, too, represents conservative heartland America? Really?
