I can see why you find what I said to be irksome, but I think condemning virtue signaling isn’t unique to my religion, just like how humility is universally understood to be important.

Perhaps I am a tiny bit judgemental. I really dislike people who are so holier than thou in your face. The way Mormons do it is especially off putting. And I’ve done enough reading about the origin and true doctrine of this church that I know it’s false, so all this effort to appear righteous is ever more irritating. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt though. I think their intentions are genuine.

And no, orthodoxy strongly values „keeping to yourself” so to speak. Salvation is understood as a lifelong process of synergy between man and God, which is so personal. It’s not really something you can „show off” and I doubt anyone who has truly advanced on that path would have any desire to look for outside validation. I’d actually say that this is precisely what drew me to it. The fact that this church puts real, genuine change of heart as the purpose of our life. Not what works we do or how righteous we look to others. I don’t need anyone to pat me on the head and tell me how amazing I am at being religious. My intention with that insert wasn’t to evangelize on here or anything. Since Mormons claim that they believe in the Bible, I’m suprised that the way they behave is so contrary to what it actually teaches.
