"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. ... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I." - Joseph Smith, 1844

So let me get this straight... to defend the church against the charge that they're wasting tithing (or however the church scammed it) money on a mall and a movie, you've decided to make the case that the church will make money off it... like any other profit motivated, money grubbing, run-of-the-mill corporation. I see.
Good thing Jesus is so business savvy, huh?
OMG... best laugh I'll have all day, I'm sure. Way to go, smart guy.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
