You seem to have ignored everything in my post.
But just because I might be cynical does not change the points I have made to you in my post. Isn't it your responsibility to open my eyes and show me the light from my wicked ways? Surely, brother, you falter in your ability to serve as God's servant, if a bit of seeming cynicism dissuades your from spreading the truth.

All I want to know is what is the purpose of a priest in Mormonism and I keep getting the run around.

He's not given up, he's just looking for more Youtube videos to bring forth as proof.

But Siddhártha Gautama (the Buddha) is dead.
Why do you follow a dead person?
The ten worlds is way to look at human activity in order to understand our attachments, and free ourselves of suffering. The ten worlds is far older then Siddhartha Gautama.

My point is that Siddhártha Gautama (the Buddha)is not divine so why follow him.
Yes, "Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha)" is not more divine then the rest of us. However, we are all Buddhas, therefore we are all divine. But the fact that everyone is divine diminishes the idea of divinity. So, it is possible to say that Buddha was divine, like the rest of us, or that he was not divine as no one is divine. Both are true.

Siddhártha Gautama (the Buddha) never affirmed to be divine.
It appears that you are putting words in your leader's mouth.
You, me, and the rest of humanity (the deceased Siddhártha Gautama-the Buddha included) are not divine.
