      Sorry, folks; if it gets skidmarks, it ain't sacred. I thought everybody knew that.

      As has happened before, I'm semi-kidding. I don't think the MU by itself is reason alone, but I remain deeply suspicious of the Mormon faith. It was started by an obvious con man and liar, they ditched polygamy only out of necessity, and if it's okay to refuse to back a creationist it's also okay to laugh away a man who thinks the Cherokee and Navajo are descended from Jews.

        Mormonism is patently absurd, sure. But it's not really that much more absurd than any religion, including yours, Elok. Sorry.

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

          Can we get back to discussing why Catholics are cannibals then? It makes as much sense as the magic underwear point you like harping on.

            So the guy gave a little help to his friends - it happens in politics all the time.
            Most Americans aint jumping for joy over our system of legalized bribery and cronyism, but didn't Rudy try to get his buddy Bernard Kerik appointed as head of homeland security? Doesn't that guy have mob connections?

              As I recall, you believe a guy walked on liquid water and came back to life after being executed. You aren't really on solid ground when it comes to calling other people's belief's irrational.
              Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                Dude, He's God.

                I don't know much about the Magic Underwear... it appears that it is just a symbol? in which case I have no problem with it (but to argue that it is unneeded/unBiblical in dicussions of Christian doctrine).
