Mormonism is NO different than any other religion or club

34. You are missing that weird is subjective

You are trying to measure aberrance by an objective standard, which misses the point.

Aberrant is a relative concept. The fact that Mormons are incredibly weird ***by the standards of America*** is a reasonable thing for someone to note and weigh in the context of whether a devoted adherent of something is a plausible president.

Mormons are outsiders, intentionally. They are separate from American society intentionally. They are weird for the sake of being weird. They chose to set themselves far apart from the American mainstream.

That doesn't make them bad people, intrinsically, but it does make them weird.

You cannot say that LDS is no weirder than Catholicism because weird is a subjective standard.

Both are equally false, but they are not equally weird. Except to an alien. But aliens don't vote so it really doesn't matter what their perspective is.
