Maybe I'm being hyper-sensitive, but I can't helping thinking that Suzy chose to lead with Mills in this story so she could mock Mormons. She spotlights his patently false assertion: "Most Mormons are really just transhumanists." (We're not.) And she buries the information that Mills is not LDS anymore nearly two dozen paragraphs into the essay. And she highlights Mills' own mocking of the LDS faith in his supposed "plan" for a deathless future: "Living forever = eternal progression, we should become gods and create for eternity."
Suzy, if someone wrote an essay emphasizing a weird guy's Jewish identity in this same way, I'd call that antisemitic. What should I call this?
