Comments on Bishop Pricks

Man, if the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were to ever lose their tax-exempt status for supporting political parties and candidates, that sure would be a revenue bonanza.

I've felt that way for years. Being a native Utahn, the LDS have ALWAYS interfered with my life. This story doesn't surprise me at all, I've known a lot of shady people within the church (among all the shady people everywhere, I guess).

Theocratic fools want bring back the Dark Ages.

Whats great is that Bishops in the church aren't like the priests or other religious "professionals". Its a job where you are 'called' to do it. There is no professional training, no qualifications. This leads to each church kind of has its own take on church matters (with some exception).

For example, one church will tell you that you are not allowed to eat chocolate because it contains caffine and that it is against god. Another church will be like, "chocolate is ok, but cola is bad".

Totally bizarre that average people get to lead the faith and listen to horrendous problems of their parishioners with no real qualifications.

Sarah Palin may be right. I think we are in end times, and all these wacko theocrats are just itching to pull the trigger.
