    When I die, I want zil writing my biography. It might not be a flattering portrayal, given the source material she'd be working from, but at least I can rest easy knowing it would be accurate.

    I'm used to hostility.  I'm an academic at heart, and I talk like one.  And academics have a bad habit of saying exactly what they think in a succinct a way as possible while using as many words as they can. We also come off as cold and detached, which is kind of a survival mechanism for making sure that we can take criticism and evaluate it objectively.  
    For what it's worth, I'm currently most prone to describing Mormonism as "theistic".  I'm content to leave off all of the prefixes. 
    Oh no, I've gone hipster!  I'm not into labels!

    As I said, I don't believe it's a matter of people trying to "hide" it.  It's more like people aren't aware of the nuances, don't take the time to understand where other religions are coming from, and are therefore unequipped to have adequate conversations that can bridge the gaping chasms between their belief systems.
    sidenote: I'm not sure everyone needs to go pursuing all of that knowledge.  It's trivial, and has almost zero impact on how a person functionally practices their religion. And if everyone pursued all of that knowledge like I do, I wouldn't get to feel so smug and superior all the time.

    That’s why happens when you summon the Shanaynay!

    It's not demonstrating respect and appreciation for our mortal leaders. It's demonstrating respect and appreciation for the priesthood office and keys under which said ordinance is being performed.

    So, shall we randomly pick some other person for God to love more?  Maybe the organist?  The person sitting in the farthest corner?  One out in the hall, maybe?  Maybe n people to love more, where n is the number of people passing * the number of people who can reach the tray at the same time?
    No, wait!  Stop the presses!  I have it!  We pass the trays all around, but no one can eat until a bell rings, then we all eat at once!  Ha!  No one gets more love.  Perfect.
    Crud!  But even at that, someone will have to hold onto that little piece of bread longer than others.  Are they special or really unspecial for getting the bread first / having to hold it longest before eating?  And then there's the logistical problem of collecting all those cups.
    What if we form a line, like the Catholics?  Then whoever wants it bad enough gets it first.  Please, people, no pushing and shoving.
    OK, let's try this, manna from heaven.  Put the bread in dispensers that drop in sync from the ceiling.  Sure, the water dispensers may drip from time too time, but at least this way, we're all equally loved.  Yes, this is the only fair solution.  @Carborendum, we need an engineer too design this contraption.
    Personally, I think someone who reads something into the bishop getting the Sacrament first needs something more important to do with their brain.
