1.3% of Americans are Mormons

[Immortal Wombat]

But that's enough to allow them to TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY!!

Excerpts From “The Mormon Conspiracy”

* It is estimated that the assets of the Mormon Church have increased from about $15 billion in 1983 to over 50 billion in 2005.

* Over sixty thousand fully-trained, adequately financed and prepared Mormon missionaries are serving in all parts of the United States and in over 124 countries around the world.

* Because young Mormon men have served in and studied the languages of foreign countries throughout the world, large numbers of them have been hired by the federal Central Intelligence Agency and therefore are in control of a significant amount of CIA activities.

* Many Mormon men have been hired by the FBI, a preponderance when considering their proportion to the percentage of the population.

For a moment I read your post as only 1.3 % of americans was morons, wich is debated in another thread - I guess that those 45 % can be increased by these 1.3 %.

Mormons also gave the world TV.

About the same number are Episcopalians. We've produced one-quarter of the country's Presidents. I wouldn't be shocked if the figures were similar for the Congress, state governors and the courts. God only knows what portion of the nation's assets are owned by Episcopalians. We did it all without a bunch of flashy missionaries. Do you want to know what our secret is?

Catholicism without all the guilt?

[Alexander's Horse]

interesting Episcopalians are so few - but then the many of founding fathers went to the new world to escape Episcopalian persecution

About a quarter of the Australian population is nominally Anglican or Episcopalian.

We get the mormon missionaries here - some were fed hash cookies and that went to court.

I went to my first Episcopalian mass a week ago. It was at St. John the Divine in NYC. Beautiful cathedral, moving service. Very similar to the Catholic mass, I liked it. It was weird seeing a woman do pretty much the same Catholic mass. A woman in sandals no less! It was really good though. I think I'll go back there whenever I'm in New York.

Sad thing though is its this gorgeous, huge cathedral and it was so empty. My regular sized Catholic church has like 3 times more people at a regular mass than St. John's the Divine. Sad, really. Damn heathen New Yorkers don't know how good they've got it.

Its remarkably similar - I was stunned, wondered why they are separate churches. So I went to communion at a friend's funeral recently.

[OzzyKP]

I guess they just don't like the Pope. *shrug*

Communion was different, I dunno if it was just at this church, but everyone formed a ring around the altar, and they people moved around the circle giving communion to everyone that way, instead of lining up. Oh, and instead of those wafer hosts they had like pita bread they just tore off pieces of. Everything was so similar I figured it was kosher for me to take communion there, as a Catholic.


They even follow the same liturgical calendar. Neat.

There are quite a few similiarities. The cars look the same on the outside, but they are quite different under the hood. I was surprised by the similiarities when I first went to a Catholic mass. Brought quite a few memories back.

Sad thing though is its this gorgeous, huge cathedral and it was so empty.

Yeah, it is sad. Same can be said back home in the Anglican church.

We Anglicans can get divorced. Our preists can get married. We can have women and gay priests (and even a Bishop). We're way cooler than Catholics.

Just Jesus' blood.
