It only seems that way because Americans are fat, and Mormons (especially the ones you see) are overwhelmingly Americans.
Utah actually has a low obesity rate compared to the rest of the country.

Re: Prophet for a day?
Ordain a woman to fill Elder Hale's shoes and go seal a gay couple in the temple.
At the end of the day, set a precedent by retiring from the Q15, and encouraging anyone else too old to run a lap around the tabernacle to do the same. (Not trying to slight disabled people, only 80-year old guys.)

Re: Sunday Afternoon NOMference
-5 per conference talk per conference talk FROM THIS SESSION that he quotes. So... -25? Did I count right?
EDIT : Another couple quotes gives -35.
Also, cog.dis. is totally normal. Stop worrying.

Re: Faith and the lack of literalism
As a scientist, I cannot believe that anything in Genesis is literal. There are man-made pots in the Louvre that predate Adam, and for the creation story to be literally true, God would have to have been seriously messing with us when He created the Earth with archaeological remains, fossils, and ra...

4. (revised) Stop by the water fountain every hour on fast Sundays
23. Bear your testimony about an R-rated movie
24. Express your thankfulness to the Lord for Skittles, ice-cream sundaes, Wendy's, and donuts during the closing prayer. (true story!)

I'll buy it. The line and point analysis checks through, and my first impressions of the photograph were "That does look like Joseph".

Re: Required alcohol
Well, if you are a really big guy (250 pounds +) then it will take double the amount of alcohol to create the same state as for someone half your weight. If you are a tiny guy (120 pounds) then that is much more scary.

short version long version Personal revelation on command, baptism at the age of reason, the New Jerusalem, apocalyptic prophesies, the communal sharing of all goods and money, and of course polygamy.
