Welcome!
It sure makes it much easier when a person recognizes that living your life in accordance with gospel principles is more rewarding than not.
The Plan of Salvation was designed by God to prevent it from being proved with the scientific method on purpose.  The tower of babel didn’t allow men to conquer God.  And no telescope or scientific discovery will ever be able to peer behind the veil.
But just because you can’t prove the existence of Jesus doesn’t mean that He isn’t there.
I’m not aware of any device that can quantify joy, despair, lust, love, remorse, shame, repentance, or forgiveness. Yet I (and you) know that they exist. 
You can cultivate more spirituality in your life by prayer, reading the scriptures, trying to become more like the master, and providing service to others.  It works.  It always does if sincere.
And there is more evidence that Jesus Christ lived, died, and was resurrected then there is of the Big Bang, Dark Matter, and that Man evolved from pond scum.  
 
The following are two Jeffrey R. Holland talks that I recommend for your case.

5! vs 5? I figure you've got 50/50 odds of being correct.
For those following along that's a sure thing.

My dad said this was his feelings as we each moved out. He thought the dinner conversations had finally gotten more interesting.

The answer is 5! Not 5!!

There, fixed that for you.

I had high hopes for this video, but it doesn't really get to the nub of the problem: it only nitpicks (quite validly) at one of the intermediate steps, but proves the answer us numnuts arrived at by dumb luck happens to be correct.
The major issue for me is that if i^i is 0.20787958 and also 0.000388203 (and a whole bunch of other numbers) then by the foundational axiom that if A=B and B=C then A=C we must conclude that 0.20787958=0.000388203, which is as wrong as saying that 1=-1, which was Presh Talwalkar's objection to our "numnut" approach.
Now that always reminds me of...

...though no one pretends that the Trinity is anything but a mystery.
The only solution I can think of is that "equality" in the statement x=i^i does not identify an equivalency, but a kind of "predicate" which applies not only to x but to other numbers as well. We use this sort of language in "big O" notation anyway for example:

does not imply that f(x)=g(x). It is merely a statement about how fast the functions grow. (I've always thought big O notation was very sloppy, and I hardly ever use it.)
We could define the answer as an infinite set

 

It's all in your imagination.

People look at the following calculation:
230-220/2
and believe the answer is 5.  How ridiculous!  People will say.
But the truth of the matter is that, believe it or not, the answer really is 5!     

I see what you did there.

I hear it's pretty humid in the darker areas and pretty dry near the white sands.

I see what you did there.

I only use SArCaSm Periodically.

I see what you did there.

Whatever comes, if he doesn't do his job well, they'll remove him (or not), and the gospel will roll forth. Satan will continue to do what he does and God will continue in His purposes until he puts Satan down. I don't know, really, what there is to be "concerned" with. I'm not just trying to be contrary. I really don't understand.
 
 
 
 
I mean add these to the myriads of similar scriptures... The ones @zil2 shared on being still, the repeated "fear not" scriptures. The might and power of God scriptures. The one's about God's wisdom, and about His work not being destroyed...for example: 
Etc.
Etc.
I mean I could literally post a hundred here that have similar ideas.
Why should we fear? This guy won't destroy God's work. We can have 100% confidence in that if we have even the slightest faith in the written word of God and His promises.

Well, wasn’t it Eisenhower who sent in federal marshals to de-segregate the schools?  And I think that when Arkansas threatened to use the National Guard to keep enforcing segregation, Eisenhower federalized them—and sent them home.
I imagine that the solution is going to be tailored to the circumstances of each case. Maybe it means sending federal troops to a county jail to secure a prisoner’s release.  Maybe it means instructing the Treasury to quit making reimbursements to a particular state under some particular federal program.  Obviously, the ability of the executive and legislative branches to coordinate a response will play a role in determining what kinds of options are on the table.
IIRC, there’s a relative dearth of 10th Amendment case law from the Supreme Court.  @JohnsonJones may know more about that than I do.

I believe (or at least I want to believe) that many begin with good, honest intentions of following God. When they find that their position gives them power and the ability to satiate carnal appetites, they veer off the way, step by step, until they are intentionally deceiving and manipulating people for sex, money, luxury, and fame.
This is priestcraft, among the greatest of perversions, and is not completely unknown in LDS circles. I do believe it's uncommon for Latter-day Saints to stray to that extent, but I have been acquainted with several who appeared to take entirely too much pleasure—dare I say pride?—in their own fame (or notoriety).

Crowned with commandments.

Well, we'd be happy to share our beliefs.  But if you really don't know much about our faith, it would be inevitable that we will use terminology that you're not familiar with.  So, that would pretty much be impossible.  For some concepts, there really are no other words without using several paragraphs and examples to explain things.  But if you have a question and you need a definition, just ask.
This is completely normal.  But there is a weakness with this process.  And this would be true if I were trying to learn about your beliefs as well.  If you want proof of something, say, in  a court of law, that would be the way we go about things.  But with philosophy or religion, that process is extremely limiting.  For one thing, what do you consider as valid "evidence" of anything?  Belief systems tend to be self-supporting and limiting.
We arrive at truth by abiding by the source of truth: God.  When we're talking about divine truth, He is the source of truth.  And if we're to "believe" someone else's faith, we need to be "willing" to consider that some of our beliefs are incorrect or need modifying.  If we're not willing to do that, then of course we're not going to believe something that contradicts what we already believe.  That's completely normal.
It is the exceptional person, indeed, who is able to just lay aside some of their own belief system to even possibly consider another belief system.
Unfortunately, this is a bit like asking a scientist at the time of Galileo, "Prove to me that your scientific findings are true without resorting to your experiments and data you've collected."
That said:
1. We are a Christian faith in that we believe
in God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.  Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.  That salvation comes in and through His atoning blood and in no other way.  Through His Atonement, all mankind may be saved as we accept Him as our Savior and follow His teachings. We differ from trinitarians in that we believe they are three distinct beings who act as one mind and one heart. 2. We believe in the following principles and ordinances as the physical manifestations of our following His path:
Faith is much more than just an idea in our minds or a feeling in our hearts.  It is the motivating principle of action.  If we are fully capable of doing something the Lord requires of us, but we choose otherwise, our faith wasn't sufficient to motivate the proper choice.  Thus faith in Christ becomes something we work on throughout our entire lives. Repentance is the turning our hearts, minds, and actions away from the sin and turning toward Christ. Baptism is the first physical ordinance we perform which signifies our dedication to follow Christ. Laying on of hands is required to receive the Holy Ghost. Higher ordinances are also required as we continue. We must endure to the end.  (Faith in Christ is something we work on all our lives) We don't believe: once saved = always saved. 3. Authority
We believe that proper authority to act in the name of God, must come from God to man by prophecy (direct contact with the Divine/ visions/visitations) not simply by studying the word alone.  Then those who have such authority can be authorized by God to give some authority to other men via the laying-on-of-hands. Part of that authority is to create an organization and system of running the Church (The Kingdom of God on Earth).  And that system/structure has been provided by God to administer His will on earth. We are separate from some "charismatic Christians", but we tend to believe in miracles and gifts of the spirit as they do. 4. Scriptures: We believe in the following volumes as sources of scripture.
Bible (While we generally use the KJV as a standard and common translation, there is nothing wrong with using other translations). Book of Mormon Doctrine & Covenants Pearl of Great Price Continuing Revelation 5. Civic Behavior:
We believe in obeying the law.  We also encourage participating in the political process. We believe in freedom of religion.  No one can FORCE another to believe something religiously.  But we have the right to practice our own religion per our own conscience. 6. In the most generic sense, we tend to have a value system that is common to Catholics and the more organized Protestant sects like Methodists, Lutherans, & Pentecostals, with some differences.
10 commandments (modern interpretations). Law of Chastity: No sex before marriage and absolute fidelity within marriage. No homosexual marriage. None of the "lesser stuff" that much of society seems to accept nowadays, like pornography. Word of Wisdom:  No alcohol, tobacco, coffee/tea, drugs, gluttony, etc.  Take care of yourself.  Your body is a temple. 7. Family is a high priority.  We believe that family bonds can continue throughout eternity.  That is through a process we call "sealing."

Like @Carborendum, I have no social media accounts apart from here at thirdhour and this site is where I make my largest digital footprint. 
I find it odd that you are asking us to form an opinion on the basis of half a dozen media posts made over a period of two or three years, the most recent of which was more than 6 years ago. Surely a well-informed opinion would be based on an objective and even-handed analysis of all of his social media posts. Even that would be a totally inadequate basis on which to form a reliable opinion as it would only cover one aspect of his life. 

Sort of like a bizarro version of the starfish parable?
Them: "You can't hope to make a difference here - there are too many of them!"
Me (dripping with bug guts and looking wild-eyed): "It matters to this one! [squish]  And this one and this one and this one! [squishsquishsquish]"

Of course not.
Everyone knows that only white people can be racist…
Be real.
