How can you even begin to compare Mormonism with Scientology? L Ron Hubbard was a manipulative barbituate addict with delusions of deity, whereas Joseph Smith was a hero blessed by Jesus himself with the power of Hat-Based Translation. Flagged as offensive.

Unlike the Mormons and the Scientologists, the Amish in my experience and reading actually seem to have somewhat of a straight head on about their alternative religious and societal views. Not that everything they do is great, but it's more of a thoughtful philosophical difference combined with a lot of tradition than a batshit insane difference from mainstream society.
They do, however, tend to have a slight thing against getting photographed.

Every time one of those wholesome, earnest Mormons stops me on the street and tries to convert me, I just want to rip the clothes right off his body. This calendar just goes to show that these people know their target audience and are prepared to take negotiations to the next level.

I'm with miss lynnster. I have the priests of Calendario Romano in my office with me right now (sadly, not literally) and I think he might even have to leap forward into 2008. I can't decide if it's the combination of whitebread american evangelicals that is a turn-off or each of those qualities separately.

"Technically?" Every religious studies professor I've ever heard speak on the subject has included Mormonism to fall under the vast Christian umbrella. If you're looking at it objectively, of course they're Christians.
The only people who make a point of excluding Mormons from the "Christian" label are some Protestants who also usually say the same of Catholics. Determining a strictly technical classification of the different sects of the world's religions isn't really their motivation there. It's just their way of saying they've got it right and the others don't. Since almost everyone thinks that, it's not really a great way to come to a reliable conclusion.
And so I say that it is both LOLMORMONS and LOLXIANS. Double the pleasure.
