At least Zion National Park was really cool when I visited it
- Yeah it's pretty beautiful in Utah. There's a couple of beautiful parks to visit
  
  Visit is the key word here.

That's exactly what the Mormons want you to do. They're no longer a majority in Utah.

Well, if you’re already there do some skiing and then leave. If you aren’t there and want to ski, hit Colorado.
- Shhhh
- There is no skiing in Utah.

Tell me you’ve never been to Moab without saying you’ve never been to Moab.
- Yeah but that uranium mine and the windstorms... Hmm.
  I put two and two together when I walked past the "uranium building" along the main street there..

That actually looks like a cool place I want to visit
- 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
- It looks that way because it is

apparently it's one of the most beautiful states in the country.
- 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.
- It's not worth it though. Between the horrible air quality and the Mormon church's strangle hold on the state.

And go to Nevada, which it is the gateway for.
Whoever gets this reference will forever be cool in my book

yuta
- Is that how you say it? And here I've been calling it Oo-Tah
  
  I'm not a native, but Wikipedia says this: Utah (/ˈjuːtɑː/ YOO-tah, /ˈjuːtɔː/ ⓘ YOO-taw)
  I deliberately picked a spelling that looks like the romanization of a Japanese first name, though.

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.
