If that was a kidney stone, what are we building this year ... an assteroid?
 
Re: 2014: Farewell to a kidney stone of a year

A host of them, eh?

But quite a few of us have wondered how the Mormons shrunk all those singers to fit in a tabernacle?

I do believe that this is where my lack of religious schooling hinders my understanding of a joke.

Although, to answer the question, between 4-16% of them.

From wiki:
According to a report produced by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life the self-identified religious affiliations of Utahns over the age of 18 as of 2008 are:[9]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 58% (labeled as Mormon on survey)
Unaffiliated 16%
Catholic 10%
Evangelicals 7%
Mainline Protestants 6%
Black Protestant Churches 1%
No Answer 1%
Other Faiths 1%
Buddhism <.5%
Eastern Orthodox <.5%
Hinduism <.5%
Islam <.5%
Jehovah's Witnesses <.5%
Judaism <.5%
Non denominational <.5%
Other World Religions <.5%

Margin of error +/- 6%

To answer Dr. Jones' question, nope, never once since I've been old enough to remember; since then I've only ever been in churches for weddings and funerals.

Same here. In middle school, someone told me I was going to hell for being "unchurched", so I've got that going for me.

In 1920's the Redemptorists (then a hell fire and ****ation order) went to my father's apartment (South Bronx) and told my grandparents that (future) Dad was going straight to hell for missing Sunday School (what became CCD in the V2 era).

The family was consistent Sunday Mass attendees. Grandpop called bullthit.
