So?

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: /are mormons the new jews?

No, that would be the Scientologists. In Hollywood anyway. Nah, they can't compete with the Jews there.

If Mitt is going to push the Mormon thing, Obama should just ask, "You guys believed people like me were sub-human and cursed until about 1960. What up with that?".

If Mittens is kind, I'm Jesus.

He is kind of a dick.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Rich man tithes. Big deal.

/are mormons the new jews?

Mormons don't control the world economy, Hollywood, and nearly 1/82d of the Middle East land. They aren't nearly the threat that Jon Stewart is.

Tithing is super important in the Mormon church. Although between that and the huge families, I don't know how you can afford groceries.

Not my problem.

I'm in the third stall from the door. Please don't make so much noise this time, I'm trying to rub one out as as well.

In the political world? Yeah it's a big deal.

It's nice to see he puts his money where his mouth is. However he is still my second favorite

I've been to the town where Joseph Smith started the LDS church. That place is sad and depressed, and the Mormons have made no effort to support it. They have their little pageant once a year, but very few mormons live there. Huntsman or his dad started a factory there, but the profits were too small so he sold it to a different company. It's a shame that they treat their religion's jerusalem like a black sheep sibling.

Sorry, to be clear, that's Palmyra, NY. Nearish to Rochester.

billinder33: I can't stand when people equate giving money to a church "charity".

Funding your mega-church's shiny new basketball court and gold-plated statues is not "Charity", it's as self-serving as a buying into a time-share.

Actually it tends to go towards paying for rent and food of members who would otherwise starve to death.

A good education is a BIG thing here, although they don't seem to care until college... Even for normal jobs that you'd get with just experience usually you're gonna be competing with a ton of locals who have degrees. Also, we seem to have a LOT of companies with either corporate or at least regional headquarters here. I think it's a part of our supposed "business friendly" atmosphere. Around here that means they are friendly if you are a business that has revenues in the 7 figure and up range, but they aren't friendly at all if you dare to be a restaurant owner that would like to have a bar in your restaurant...

It's a mixed blessing, the people are nice, they make nice neighbors, and it's pretty quiet and safe. The mountains are beautiful, skiing is great, hunting and fishing abound and we have the southern part of the state, Ed Abbey country, Moab, Canyonlands, Arches, etc... On the other hand, we have a bunch of theocratic hypocrites making our laws.

And best of all, if a black person repents for their sins, they will supposedly turn white. (3 Nephi 2:15-16)

Except for the parts they don't (there's a good portion of the BoM where Lamanites are righteous, Nephites are wicked and the skin colors are the same as before).
