Mormons... are so strong, they can handle wealth, they are confident. I think it is because they are not bogged down by rules for equality, but have a firmly defined system of relative status and responsible command.
I have increasingly, over the years, felt that religion today does our civilization more harm than good.
It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements.
Just in our lifetime our society has become looser and more private, it becomes extremely difficult to hold to any permanent commitment whatever, least of all to organized religion.
