More religious delusion

Seems the head of the Mormon Church, Gordon Hinckley, died last week at the age of 97. He's now lying in state in Temple Square, and the faithful are lining up to see his body.
"Mormons have said in recent months that they feel themselves to be under a microscope as perhaps the nation’s best-known Mormon, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, fights for the Republican presidential nomination. The scrutiny, from magazine-cover discussions of what Mormons believe to national opinion polls about whether people would vote for a Mormon for president, has evoked for many people a mix of feelings, from pride to consternation at the misconceptions that they feel the world shares about them."

Rico says he wonders if Mr. Hinckley was surprised when he died and nothing happened...
