Yes, Sex Sells Everything, Even Religion

No, my Mormon encounter (or lack of it) has been discussed enough in other fora (EGO sum inflatus) so I will not repeat it here. If anything, it has led me to countless hours of googling as much useless information I can about our Latter Day brothers and sisters and the most interesting tidbits are these two:


The first is the Men on a Mission pinup calendar (yeah, you read that right--a Mormon pinup calendar). They sell funny T-shirts as well. This one is my personal favorite.


The other (and more serious one) is Julia Sweeney performing the first 15 minutes of her show Letting Go of God at the 2006 TED Talks. It's a very funny and reflective piece about religion, Santa Claus and of course, Mormons.



She drives home a point every rational religious can't help but consider-- that there is a difference between the two questions

• Do you feel that God loves you?


• Do you believe that God loves you?

And yes, Elder Paul, I am still waiting for your phone call ;)
