Reply #68: How Secretive are we really Blue? [View All]

[SidneyCarton]

After all there seems to be a great number of self-proclaimed experts on my faith here on DU. As to other "ceremonies" perhaps you refer to our getting married naked, or our disinterrment of corpses to "baptize them" or the enslavement of hundreds of women to be our plural wives, or any one of the other clandestine and scandalous activities which have been attributed to my faith over the years. Humorously enough, my religion would be far more interesting if even a tenth of them would be true. Feel free to stop by and sleep through a Sacrament Meeting on any given Sunday if you care to.

As to whether the prayer is a ceremony, or merely an element of the entire ceremonial of the Inauguration is open to debate. As to filling the void, Sid Dithers response to my post above suits me fine. And as I could care less whether or not the prayer stays, it doesn't bother me, I see no reason to offer suggestions. You want it out, you figure out what to replace it with.
