Either Mormonism is a failing religion, shedding adherents due to its authoritarianism and historically shaky scriptures, or it's a massively powerful octopus of doom, bidding to control the United States government through its puppets such as Mitt Romney. Pretty hard to be both.

Doesn't equate.

Because it can be readily be both of what you describe.

The latter comment of yours describes Mormon hierarchical leadership with its massive overreach.

The former comment of yours describes Mormon grassroots -- whereby it's being "evacuated" at that level.

Even true Christianity shows boom in Africa, Asia, Central America and bust in Western Europe.

I suppose by your "analysis" you would come up with "Either Christianity is a failing religion, shedding adherents in Western Europe or it's a massively powerful octopus in Africa & Asia & Central America. Pretty hard to be both."

Lame.

You're an intelligent character, NS. (Yet sometimes you lack basic discernment, especially spiritual discernment)

Even true Christianity shows...

And you, of course, are the arbiter of TRUE Christianity.

Hail, folks, the prophet speaks ! Or spews hatred, at any rate.
