Admittedly I'm extrapolating. It's just imagination. The difference between us is that I don't put Mormonism on any higher moral plain than any other religion. Have you ever tried to imagine your religion as being born and based somewhere outside the United States in a time other than the time in which it was born? I bet not many here have. It's not really even possible to do because, as reflected in the article of faith cited by Il Pad, Mormonism is to such a great extent a product of its time and place. But it is also a product of the past, a reaction to its time and place. It's fundamentally a religion.
