Reputation laundering. The LDS church collected $33 billion in tithes and $15 billion in profit on private holdings in 2010 alone. Don’t fall for this bullshit, they’re the most hell-bound sinister ghouls this world has to offer.
The LDS church is a force of evil in the world and $1 million dollars (0.002% of their annual proceeds) is pretty cheap for an ad to control the narrative.
Many religious groups use their charity work to distract from their manipulative, self-serving activities and goals. LDS isn’t even the worst offender, but they’re up there. For my money, the Catholic Church is by far and away the most evil religious organization on the planet that isn’t a straight-up terrorist group. The shit it has done throughout its nearly 2,000-year history and the negative impact it has had on populations around the globe is staggering.
I look forward to a day when major religious groups have no foothold in developed nations due to education and acceptance of secular culture and values, but sadly I don’t think I’ll live to see it.
