Robbie Hugland as an ex Mormon, your extreme doubt to historical narrative is completely understandable.
My equivalent extreme doubt comes with marketing / sales and people who have something to prove by emotional exaggeration : they are selling me something.
The first crack in the armor was at 8 years old when they advertised a toy truck on tv.
I realized the child was a midget and he was holding the toy truck at arm’s length towards the camera.
And I heard the announcer over excited
And I saw the children unrealistically enthusiastic
And I thought: and this is a lie and they all know
But most of my irritation was for the announcer
He was the adult
A little later I realized more about marketing
So now I understand a little better.
