Kirby - What do you call a group of Mormons

I think his bias is showing with his choice of labels. If it's "a sneer" of atheists, shouldn't it be "a lie" of Mormons?



"I’m going with “a correlation of Mormons.” It speaks to our proclivity of worshipping God through conformity and imitation.

Incidentally, this is not just an LDS thing. There also could be a “rant” of Southern Baptists, a “confessional” of Catholics, a “thrash” of Pentecostals, or a “knock” of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Nor does this collective referencing apply only to religion. It works with all groups. It’s a “a rage” of feminists, “a sneer” of atheists, and a “grope” of congressmen."

Re: Kirby - What do you call a group of Mormons

"a fetch" of mormons works too, but, I just usually call them "a herd of MoMos", kinda goes with the sheeple motif. :D

Re: Kirby - What do you call a group of Mormons

Well, "herd" works nicely to describe the common folk in the religion. But it seems there ought to be a different word to describe the leaders [sic], those who are fleecing the herd.

Hmmm....

Re: Kirby - What do you call a group of Mormons

Hmmm That's a tricky distinction, since in their arrogance, most see themselves as leaders of some degree.

For the upper crust leaders, I just go with asshat. Seems to work.

Re: Kirby - What do you call a group of Mormons

I immediately thought of "A gaggle of geese".... but I don't

know if could apply. I guess I thought so because they

do communicate but its all meaninless noise to us.

Since many Mormons are into MLM schemes, maybe a "downline" of Mormons is a good term.

A Conformity of Mormons

A Snore of High Priests

A _________ of GAs (unctuousness comes to mind, but there must be something better)


Also note that different religions are assigned different adjectives to describe participation.
Baptists are staunch
Catholics are devout
Mormons are active
Jews have an entire list of adjectives to choose from. Orthodox, ultra orthodox, kosher, secular, ....
