Ok, I will admit this answer may seem lame to those who have not been LDS, but those who have will understand it perfectly.
They can’t see it because they are told NOT to see it. The LDS responses you see here are not thought through individual responses. They are pat answers that they have been told. The LDS are conditioned to not think for themselves, in fact, they are often (I know I was) warned that researching the LDS chuch to much would cause me to ‘lose my testimony’ of Mormonism and lead to ‘apostasy’ (which is exactly what happened).
Mormons want the LDS church to be ‘true’ more than they want to know the truth - it is an emotional not a rational religion and the leadership (all the way back to Smith) feeds this. One way they do that is to ‘demonize’ all apostates and ‘antis’ and to constantly repeat the same things like “we don’t worship Joseph Smith”, “we love our Elder Brother” “Jesus is the Christ”, “Anti’s are only in it for the money” “we are Christians”, “Joseph Smith was an abolitionist” etc. without actually thinking about what they are saying or even looking at anything that is not ‘faith promoting’ and put out by the LDS church or apologists. They are discouraged from going into Christian bookstores and reading non LDS religious material. All their info becomes filtered through Mormonism.
There is a VERY High level of thought control in Mormonism, and the biggest breakthrough, the one that gets people to leave, is getting them to actually question and think for themselves.
They can’t see they worship Smith or that they are hell bound because they are brainwashed by constantly being told they are not doing those things and there really is no Hell as Christians believe.
