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.

    Huh… No. Literally no.

    They took an already silly thing, which at least had the benefit of being so far removed in time it leaves space for doubt about what it claims, and then piled a bunch of complete utter nonsense on top of it.

    And worse of all, utter nonsense created by a con artist who couldn’t even keep his own story straight, like when the original “translation” of the text only he could translate (lol) was hidden from him, he just made up a completely different one because of course he did, he was a con artist.
