I am a little bit older and I can remember when the Mormon church actively prevented blacks from becoming full members. Not too long ago, blacks were reviled by preachers all over the US and before that it was women's rights. What I like (there isn't much to like) about posts like the following is two part: firstly, they have stopped hating on racial minorities (for the most part), and their arguments are so out of touch that church members has fallen by about 15% in the last two years in the US. The goalposts of their hate have moved.

So, what I am saying is... as vile as these assholes are, the side effect is that they are killing their own membership and they have fewer and fewer minorities to ostracize.

I realize, they are horrible but I try to find a bright side... even in a sea of darkness.
