This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Israel's got us beat by a lot, man. In the US we have grasps for religious power (some successful) but it doesn't describe everyone in government

Go to Utah. The Mormon church has a lot more influence on politics, than people want to admit?

Ohh I'm very aware of SLC. I'm speaking of the country as a whole, though

Have you been to SLC? Mostly not Mormon. Meanwhile places like Provo are 98% LDS

I've never been to Utah period but I know that the LDS owns like 1/4 of SLC

True but Israel's been that way since its inception. An entire country made FOR religion
