Aren’t mormons educated from a young age to mostly have happy conversations. I’m sure if you were talking about theology with some of them they’d be more engaging. But to be fair, I wouldn’t want to talk about theology with mormons.
Not even for the curiosity, the novelty? Me and my girlfriend accidentally ate at a cult restaurant on Valentine’s Day (Yellow Deli of the 12 Nations cult) and I LOVED talking to the waiter who was VERY far gone, I basically gave him coy winks and vague dogwhistles to suggest I too was a Christofascist and he gushed, it was fascinating. I’ve always wanted to talk to a psychopath, too. And killers, billionaires, ghouls. We have a running joke, me and my friend, about a weepy, shivering Donald Trump knocking on your day late at night and asking if he could crash on your couch.
Sometimes, old heads will just randomly spark up conversations with me on the bus/ on the train. I remember one time, some dude said his son won against some famous Boxer? Basketball player? (Can’t remember) and how Disney Land was almost built in the Bay area.
I don’t know if they’re making it up/ they have mental issues, but you can tell it makes them happy to have someone listen. Though my examples are a bit more wholesome than the cristofascists guys.

I’m not at a point in my life where I could have a productive conversation about theology with a Mormon yet.
.
As an ex-Mormon, I’ll never be at a point in my life where I could discuss theology with a Mormon without absolutely losing my mind lol.
