Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.

“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.

      Not even if they wear the magic underwear?! What about if they give 10% of everything they earn towards tricking more gullible idiots and brainwashing children? Maybe if they dedicate two years of their lives going door-to-door recruiting more morons, and pay for the privelege out of their own pockets?

        Just…you’re going to have to trust me on that one.
