Slate article likens Scientology to Mormonism

Post by _Notoriuswun »

This seething article by Jacob Weisberg illustrates why he could never vote for anyone who was Mormon (ie Romney)...and then offers why Mormonism is simply the 18th century version of Scientology:

That's interesting, since Mormonism didn't originate until the Nineteenth Century. I see no connection whatever between the two religious systems.

Yeah Notorius. It's the 19th century. Remember the 1st century was years 1-100, so you have to add a century.

1700s=18th century
1800s=19th century
etc

And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning
