Moroni is Angry

posted by on February 6 at 5:44 AM

Immediately after voters in the South hand Mike Huckabee a string of unexpected victories on Super Tuesday—keeping him in the race and dealing a fatal blow to Mitt Romney’s presidential hopes—a string of killer tornadoes sweep through the South. Coincidence? There are no coincidences, people. Only miracles.

This is the divine wrath of an angry God.

Remember, people: Mormon was the correct answer. Only Mormons get into heaven—they don’t get into the White House, but they have heaven all to themselves.

If you're going to assume some sort of divine intervention, don't be so quick to blame it all on the voters who went for Huckabbe. These tornados only hit the states that went for Hillary...

Actually, according to the Mormons, pretty much everybody gets to go to some level of heaven or another. Lucky us.

you should ask eli why he went a bit overboard on me last night and proceeded to lambast me for being an asshole and him making shit up about me talking smack about "gay health issues"

tell your people to have some thick skin. if they can't handle anon comments on slog then they either need to not slog so much or should change the rules of psuedonyms. I've never seen anyone get so worked up in person about stuff said online. it was weird and sad for eli.

no, im infamous. and if the measure of fame is being loathed by a reporter then that is a pretty poor measure.

slog = stranger ego cult ??

news would seem to encompass ALL nature of opinion, even the odious, quasi neo con Mc Cain lover assholes

most Stranger writing has a built in bias and in the end, they don't like much the other side of the coin - ie. those who strongly disagree

and the true believers will pile on when called to do so

even the wise fnarf windbag will conform to the party line - like Pravda of old

I find Mormons much easier to endure that the fundies and conservative Catholics.

Ask Catholics to explain the Inquisitions and the layer on layer of guilt they sell so well.

I have no friends who go to any church - we don't care about or have a second to waste for ANY organized traditional religion.

Wonder why Dan is so into all this who cares about churches? None of them make any sense in doctrines, but, some reedeem themselves by much good on the ground. Mormons are noted for that, so are Catholic Charities, the Missions, Sal. Army, etc.

When it comes to angels, why are Catholic angels any less funny than Mormon angels? And I like living angels much better - right here in Seattle.

If you want one reason why Dan is so into all this you should listen to this week's Savage Love Podcast.

That video reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:

So this young jewish man is best friends with a young muslim man. They grew up together, spending their days explaining the differences in their faiths. After years of teaching their faiths, they both decided to just make it official, so the Jewish man because a Rabbi and the Muslim an Iman.

After living long lives as good friends, debating scripture, neither was able to convert the other. Both were quite sad that they would die soon and have to spend eternity in Heaven knowing their friend was in Hell.

Well, the day finally came and both men died.

They come to, and they're standing outside Heaven's gates. Both men are shocked, but overjoyed, to see each other. They approach the angel who's taking names at the gate, and ask what happened, why they're both here.

"You lived good lives, you loved others, and you did your best. That's all we can ask," the angel said. "Now, go on in, but be quiet when you pass the first few doors, OK?"

The rabbi and the iman are confused. It's Heaven, why should they be quiet.

"Well, you see," said the angel, "each of those doors is for a different sect of protestantism, and they all think they're the only ones up here."

I saw the "Morman is the right religion" episode last night on South Park. Gotta love those wacky Colorado kids.
