The BBC reports that the while the US is one of the most religious countries in the west, it is undergoing a period of doubt.
It may be daring to say it but America seems to be experiencing an atheist moment. Although “In God We Trust” was declared the national motto by an act of Congress more than 50 years ago and has been stamped on the currency for longer than that, some considerable doubt has developed of late.

I’d say anyone believing in the mormon religion is probably as wacky as the scientologist. But both founders had the right idea, it’s a good way to make money.
I know, I don’t wanna be like Tom Cruise!
I’d like to be a Mormon… I want to have lots of wives… I could be like any other normal Christian, I don’t have to go to church, and I can hide what I truly believe… lol
Plus, that brings me back to that Simpson’s episode where they are talking about two wives… I’m not exactly sure who said what, but it went something like this:
Lenny: Geez, Homer. I thought someone with two wives would be happy.
Carl: No, you’re thinking of someone with two knives.
Moe: (While holding two knives) I gotta tell ya, this is pretty terrific.
I googled scientology…I prefer spider solitaire.
Wasn’t Soul some kind of music?
In that case, I cal live without that shit.
hahahahaahahah. Wait…to google is not a verb…mmmhhhmm…see what technology does to the languages.
I thought Soul was my cousin…I can live without him. I don’t like him anyways…No, his name was Saul
SeOUL is the capital of South Korea…
And don’t even get me started on the fish and the foot.
Fish and foot?
Google is a pseodo-verb. I went to Salt Lake City once. Hats, everywhere.
Sole is a type of fish, sole also is the bottom of a shoe.
