I was in fact using evidence in that technical a sense, but I’ll answer your question anyway.
...why is your morality agreeing with the LDS church… not overwhelmed by the majority of human beings whose moralities disagree with yours/the church’s, or overbalanced by the humans whose moralities agree with those of other religions?
Because morality is not a binary attribute. You can’t go out on the street and ask them, “Do you agree with the Mormons, yes or no?” Well, you could, but then if they answered no, you’d have to ask them how many people they killed today. It’s exactly that fallacy that leads fundamentalist Christians /shudder/ to claim that atheists love to rape and murder and… I dunno, engage in bestiality or something.
So no, other peoples’ moralities don’t sway me particularly much, because a) they don’t matter as much to me as my own morality—as I think you’d agree with, saying “not more than the average dissenter”; and b) because the consonance between my morality and Mormonism isn’t that much of an evidence in its favor. I was using it mainly as a contrast between myself and all the people who have posted saying that Christianity made them feel “wrong”.
