Honestly, I've always found it weird. I consider mormonism "the best capitalist religion" there is. Not a fan of religions in general, but their ability to mobilize and control their userbase is amazing. And they are spreading into northern California, Idaho, Washington, etc. Not just families, but the political and legislative bodies of those states.

I really don't get why they don't endorse alcohol and legal weed as they are such profitable industries. They conceded black people have souls so they would not lose their tax exempt status. It became okay to drink Pepsi when the church invested in Pepsico. Their health supplement industry leads the nation. Why not do weed and booze?

The actually did the black men had souls thing to improve BYU's sports record?

Not in or from Utah, but it's on my list for retirement. I visited Arches, Moab, Zion, Fishlake Natl Forest, and a bunch of small towns out there last year; it was delightful if you're outdoorsy. Stunningly beautiful and the Mormons are all super nice. (Disclaimer: I'm white.)

I'm not a fan of mormons, but this isn't true at all. IIRC, there are three levels of heaven and most people are going to end up in one of them. I think hell is called 'outer darkness' and it's reserved for mormon Satan, his followers and people who talk on the phone at during a movie.

Anyway, Utahns are generally pretty nice all around.

I was under the impression that mormonism acknowledged black people, and poc in general as having souls, sometime in the 80's or 90's because the church's federal tax exemption status was threatened by "hey. you cannot be total racists pricks and get the free-from tax religion ticket!" So smiling black people in polo shirts started appearing in their media offerings at that time.

In its modern construct, the LDS church is a profit driven machine to the nth degree. Well designed, well oiled, and functioning at peak efficiency. Rome will be considered a bunch of smoothed brained idiots in a few more decades by comparison.

Regarding sports, this hillbilly looking mfer :https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066657/tj-haws

The most realistic thing about the Expanse TV series is how the space Mormons had no issue funding a massive spaceship.

The LDS church basically has a institutional amount of net worth hidden away from the public eye thanks to the whole religious tax exemption thing.

Not saying that this is wrong, but I think a major factor was the opening of a temple in Brazil where if they weren't going to let black people in, there wouldn't be very many people using the temple.

mormons are only superficially nice. if you're not one of them you won't ever be part of the community. and lots of them are very racist, sexist, and homophobic. when i said they were nice earlier, i meant in terms of polite conversation at the checkout counter
