Re: magic underwear

The article says...
As the website for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints puts it, garments are worn as "an outward expression of an inward commitment."
Because garments are considered so sacred, Mormons tend to recoil when they hear non-Mormons make casual reference to their underwear--especially in a political context.



So.. it seems that many religions have their outer coverings to express their inward commitment?

i'm not sure holiness groups have described standards in such descriptive terms. the mormons may be more spiritually "advanced". lol

Yes, "religions" have that.

Re: magic underwear

First of all, I thought EVERYONE knew that Mormons wear special undergarments? Secondly, WHO CARES?????

Not news. And if it is, then can someone say, "Religious bigotry?" [GB]

There are fruity components to just about every religion in the world. If you do care, you should choose not to care--on principle.
