as told to Ed Peters

Hey! Our church is  better than 

your church.

 

   

 

No it’s not. We 

have cathedrals.

So? We have temples.

Oh yeah? Well 

we have a bishop.

Big deal. We have lots  of bishops.

 

   

 

We’ve got

the Bible!

    We’ve got that, plus the ”Book of Mormon.”

 

 

 

 

We have more toys 

than you.
