tl;dr:
let’s just call it “mormon succession”
mormon leadership basically has three layers:
“the quorum of the seventy” (who are mostly unimportant except for local affairs)
the “twelve apostles” (who are actually semi important and give speeches every general conference (twice every year event in which that is the only thing that happens))
and the “first presidency” (the seniorest (most time spent as an postle) apostle, known as “the prophet” who gets 2 other guys from the apostles to join him. there’s actually 15 apostles but ssshhh)

the twelve apostles are all really old probably white guys
whenever one of them dies the first presidency (or the whole group i forgor) select a new guy, probably from the seventy but not always
that’s basically it

despite the homophobic document literally existing at all, the mormon leaders always preach they they actually “love gay people” and then they turn around and attempt to remove their rights and happiness

for example, eliza likes nearly all posts, unless theyre made by [REDACTED] and of course if eliza disagrees with the method of a post.

many mormons are extremely gullible when it comes to the leaders (i mean, they were taught from a young age to “follow the prophet” and other such religious indoctrinations) so they think they are actually loving gay people by taking away their rights

also, fun fact! the prophet is infalliable except for when he isn’t. mormons are always like “the prophet is still human” and then take his words as if they are words from God, which are totally not contradictory views
basically he’s infalliable until its revealed that he made a mistake

oh also the apostles are exclusively men

God softly whispers into the prophet’s ear: “Trump 2020”, but truly God was only testing the waters

i dont know what drives atlas but she generally likes posts that are phrased in a kind manner (i don’t specify kindness exactly because a kindly phrased post that is telling you to drink so much alcohol would still get a like) significantly more than other kinds of posts
