Is Romney’s Run bad for Mormonism?
Flipp is bringing a lot of attention to the LDS faith and I’m wondering is the mormons are very happy about that? Were they content pretty much owning all of Utah and flying somewhat under the national radar?
It seems like a learn some wacky new fact about mormonism everyday. For example, did you know that mormons think Jesus and the Devil are brothers? I didn’t until Reverend Huckabee told the NYT about it.
I also recently found out that some mormons have special underwear, and when some LDS hippies protest against the Church they burn or deface the underwear in the manner of secular hippies buring old glory.
Of Course Mormonism has been around a long time (tens of decades), so I don’t think Romney wil have a significant longterm impact. But while he hangs around I’m sure we’ll all be learning tons of interesting things courtesy of Reverand Huckabee.
Oh I just remebered something else I recently learned. It seems that it takes a morman tens of millions of dollars to do what a southern baptists can do with a few million.

Thanks anon.
Here is another interesting LDS factoid. Mormonism and the lawn mower were both invented (or revealed if you prefer)in the year 1830.
More secret than the R.C.s!!! and they have hundreds of thousands years to hone the ‘rules’.
The only question I still have about the LDS is whether BYU football players have to go on missions. I think Steve Young (great grandson of Brigham) did, but I have a hard time picturing Jim McMahon riding around on a bike in his white shirt and black tie.
Oh, and if you’re ever in Provo, the only beer that’s full strength is Sierra Nevada. Everything else is 3.2% ABV.
