WHEN RELIGION GETS REALLY DESPERATE . . .

Looks like the Mormons have found a rather innovative way to proselytize. This is their latest message of hope and faith. Gee, I'm so "moved." I expect we'll be seeing some very hot "latter days" ahead . . .

"For the first time ever, twelve of the hottest and hunkiest former Mormon Missionaries have dared to pose bare-chested in the first-ever Mormons Exposed calendar. The 2008 calendar, dubbed Men on a Mission, feature sexy men of faith who have all returned from serving as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Usually seen riding their bicycles and preaching door to door, these steamy young men explode with sexuality on each calendar page.

"Behind the eye-candy, this calendar has a deeper story -- one that can reshape perceptions, heighten awareness, and perhaps encourage and inspire a broadened acceptance of human and religious diversity. The fact that twelve young returned missionaries are posing shirtless will certainly raise eyebrows, but may also help to sort out some common misconceptions about Mormons. The shock value of what these traditionally conservative young men have helped to create has the power to build a dialogue that encourages people across every belief system and walk of life to defy stereotypes and embrace tolerance.

This leaves me speechless. The Mittster can probably work it into a campaign ad.

Nope, doesn't work for me. Do you think they could recruit Vincent D'Onofrio as a convert then do a naked calendar?

I think Mr. D'Onofrio would have a good laugh if they tried.
