Your observations don’t stand because there’s a mountain of evidence across a decade that refutes them. I’ve provided that evidence for you.
Ah, you are telling me that my own experience and what I've seen with my own eyes are meaningless?
Im saying there’s a mountain of evidence that shows you are, at best, deluded.
I suppose there is a lesson or hidden truth in there somewhere. 😉

Maybe I shouldn't be driving with my eyes closed. 😂 Otherwise I'd know the truth!

Hmm...maybe that's what I've been doing with my religious impulses over the years...

You are so insightful. Thanks you for helping me understand that I'm blind and unable to discern truth!

To be fair, you do struggle with acknowledging the truth when it is clearly presented to you. Let’s use this topic as an example. Do you agree that Utah drivers, in the main, are generally more rude, more discourteous, more ignorant, more dangerous, and more offensive, than most other places in America, as the evidence overwhelmingly shows?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Ah! The crux of the problem!

Who's problem? That is debatable. ;)

Just agree to live in separate realities. On Earth Two, you already have Unicorns, Dragons, and Golden Plates. Just follow the Golden Compass and you can pierce the dust layers.

It’s a simple question. You seem reluctant to answer it. As if you’re struggling to accept the actual objective truth that’s been presented to you.

In a way, I'm about to derail my own post.

However, this comment is intended to clarify some differences in points of view on Utah drivers.

In the past 6 months or so, I've bought grocery items, including fruit & vegetables, and canned goods, in various stores, large and small, in Canada, Mexico, and the US, including Utah.

The items bought in Utah were not always the best quality, nor were they always the best value for money.

I'm waiting to see if someone who has bought such goods exclusively in Utah, or almost so, will assert that, in their experience, Utah stores have good stuff.

I like stuff we buy at Costco.

I bought a diet coke in Parawon saying hi to the sisters of the Relief Society there as I made my way to Contact in the Desert a couple weeks ago. It was a little dive just off I-15 and they appeared to enjoy taking my money. To be sure they didn't demand a 23% tip as restaurants do, so there was that.....
