Okay, okay, fine:

It’s true that the Church has a for-profit business arm but they are run strictly as investments. From what I can see there are no ulterior “Church” purpose behind them.

The Church does not sell us insurance (I believe they just self-insure their own properties), the broadcast properties are almost entirely secular (except for one cable station that I’m aware of), and I have never heard of the Church feeding us nuts.

I think it would have been helpful if you sought out a Mormon or two before expounding on the Church and its practices. It looks like you googled the Church a little and let your speculation do the rest to defend the rumor.

I think Louis Gray nailed it that anyone familiar with the Church would laugh at the notion that it would blow a sizable chunk of its rumored “fortune” on something as ridiculously valued as Facebook.

Thanks for asking though.

Did I get my facts wrong? Did I not provide evidentiary links to all my claims?

I suppose it would be better if I lobbed a one liner allegation and left it at that.
