Obviously you feel a competitive threat from Mormonism and wish to damage it, and not religions like Islam or Judaism which you apparently don't envy. Envy is a deadly sin.
It appears that some folks have malice towards women, as well as towards those who dispute the fallacies of mormonism.
The original thread began THIS way....
Do we really believe that just because one is rich one is blessed by God? According to a study published in 2004 which researched the Mormon Wealth Attribution (MWA), we do. The MWA can be defined as the tendency of LDS individuals to perceive those who are wealthy as more righteous or pious than their less wealthy neighbors. The randomized empirical study reported that “Church members are more likely to attribute righteousness to a wealthy church member than to a poor one” and that (in general) wealthy members of the church are seen as being better people, both secularly and spiritually than poor people.
I have seen many LDS individuals (including priesthood leaders) apply negative attributions and stereotypes toward those who are poor or lacking resources. They implied that these poor individuals need to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” and either work harder or be more righteous. To me, making these kinds of attributions based on wealth alone (or at all) seems to be dangerous and hurtful.
Time to get this thread back on the subject and not buy in to the attempt to derail it.
