Why do Mormons have a lock on literal sacredness?

And Palin is, in theory, *primarily* a Christian and only secondarily American -- at least, that's what she *should* be, if I am to take her faith seriously. Well, if she were a Mormon, given their literal belief in its sacredness, I'd be siding with you. As it is I'm not sure. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
