Imagine growing up in a mormon community that controls the state, apprehensively and clumsily reaching out intellectually to the outside world, realizing how the world is much different than your strange lifelong bubble would have you believe; realizing how you are trapped in a cult in relation to the rest of the world; how the church loomed over your entire life, took crucial early years and filled it with irrational horseshit.
These people must leave and not come back. They have too many buttons that other cult members and leaders can push. That place knows how to hurt these people.
It probably is. My so wanted to camp and travel. They decided on Utah, I figured why not I think it’s a shitty morman state but it’s her thing let’s do it. I’ve never been more blown away by a state. Just absolutely beautiful. We stayed a few nights at this place called Goblin Valley, probably the most amazing place I’ve ever camped. I can’t wait to go back.
Utah is beautiful and has tons of opportunity for outdoor activities. Some of the coolest national parks are there, and should be a top priority in anyone’s bucket list. It’s difficult to avoid supporting the mormons in some manner if you go though. Freaking landlords get raging erections thinking about what it would be like to be a top member of the mormon sect.
I love so much about Utah, and would highly recommend visiting, but will never live there again. The church isn’t that influential within salt lake City, but go outside and you’re just hoping for LDS instead of FLDS people. What really made me leave wasn’t the low abv beer or the mormans. The environmental inversion is truly hell
