Israel and America are trying to wrestle for that one, too

Israel's got us beat by a lot, man. In the US we have grasps for religious power (some successful) but it doesn't describe everyone in government

Go to Utah. The Mormon church has a lot more influence on politics, than people want to admit?

Ohh I'm very aware of SLC. I'm speaking of the country as a whole, though

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Have you been to SLC? Mostly not Mormon. Meanwhile places like Provo are 98% LDS

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've never been to Utah period but I know that the LDS owns like 1/4 of SLC

It's almost.....Like when everyone in government is of the same religion, it's similar to everyone in government being of no religion at all.

There sadly are even more countries that are completely under control of religious leaders. Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan, .... Vatican City (they even have something like their own military).

They're all already greased up and there's an inflatable pool with green jello right there.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
