Since the winter olympics are being held in salt lake city, the mecca of mormonism, i thought that i'd like to share a bit of enlightenment on it.
mormonism is America's religion, in so many wonderful ways. It is the only religion that started in the United states (upstate ny). Yes, my friends, this is what we have brought to the theological table.
Persecuted for their ways (and for being right, of course), they, like the pilgrims before them, pushed ever westward. What pioneers! they opened up the old west for our ancestors, so that they could live in peace. They found their home in Utah, and guarded it well, even from the US Army. Now, if giving an f-u to authority isn't american, i don't know what is.
Even today, they are completely misunderstood, just like america is by the rest of the world, and all because they, and we, are different. So how did they combat this? Advertising, of course! No other religion can claim such catchy jingles as "the never tell a lie" song and many others. just like america, they market themselves to the rest of the world.
and it has finally, finally, finally paid off. Despite allegations of bribery , they will host the winter olympics and show the world what america is all about: multiple wives for those in power, and banning caffiene.
John Smith would be proud.
