This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You’d be surprised. The non-Christian/Non-Mormon population of those states is extremely convinced of the need for separation of church and state.

Nothing like proximity to religious zealots to convince you that they shouldn't be anywhere near power (or children).

The Mormons know what would happen to them if a true Christian theocracy arose at the federal level.

Yeah, evangelicals would suddenly be okay with Mormons because the Mormons have a lot of money (like, a lot). We all know the God they worship.
