congrats dude, you're Mormon

so many americans walk around functionally believing pretty much exactly this, the LDS church just makes it undeniably explicit: We all think the United States is the promise land. It's funny that so much of the discourse around Mormonism gets tripped up arguing about the Trinity and drawing lines in the sand about what is and isn't Nicene Council approved "Christianity", it kinda misses what I think is the much more critical point: Mormonism is (for the most part) the average Protestant Yankee belief system, codified and given scripture.

This is like that SCP Foundation story where it exists in every universe and some Foundations willingly destroy the others to ensure their survival, but none can in the end escape the multidimensional worm.
