I think that you need to look at other groupings for the dislike.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

Naw, I think it's just jealousy of all that coastline, plus Hollywood.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Every LDS friend of mine that has lived out of Utah county (not Salt Lake City or Park City) and moved back, has hated it. They loathe it and their skin crawls with disgust. It makes me laugh.

Even LDS faithful hate the religious culture as found in whole swaths of Utah regions once they get a taste of life outside of the Zion curtain. Utah county is the most noticeable, followed by Bountiful, Farmington, Brigham City and other smaller LDS-centric towns.

It isn't Mormonism per se, it is more of a mestasizing of religion and religious culture that just fills the air here like a dense fog of ignorance and fakeness.

As for me, I love Utah. I love Utah County and love that it is so peculiar. It is probably the only place on earth where drinking coffee makes you feel like you are a teenage rebel again.
