the LDS church controls $8.3 trillion in wealth. They could afford to flood Ukraine with biblically accurate fighter jets. These would cover more ground than bicycles

$8.3 trlllion in wealth
That is like 10 times the US yearly military budget. Where are you getting these numbers from?
No clue. I'm seeing closer to 300 billion sited.
Nobody knows the exact number as they hide their wealth using all sorts of shady methods. We do know they had more than 100 billion in just one investment account. They also own over 1 million acres of agricultural land, and large amounts of commercial real estate. Tracking all the business entities they own around the world is also difficult as they commonly use shell companies and other methods to hide their ownership.
Any estimate you find is just a guess.
This is non-credible defense, I think you know where those numbers come from.
Sounds like bullshit ngl number of mormons (17 million) times the average american net worth (1 million) = 17 trillion.
Does the temple literally own half the wealth of their congregation?
And that's assuming that all 17 million mormons the LDS church claims to have actually exist. It's kind of annoying to get deleted from their rolls, so a lot of people who leave don't bother. Also, many of those 17 million live in much poorer nations than the US.
That 17 million is a vast overestimation of their worldwide attendance. Real numbers, based off of cellphone data, are closer to 4 million.
I was counting in Hryvnias
Okay, so I’m not a big fan of the LDS church, but can we talk about how unironically hard that Hornet regalia goes?
They need to save that for their spaceship
trusting the OPA to build you a spaceship
What did they expect?
Wouldn't biblically accurate fighter jets have 6 wings or something like that?
ChatGPT4o made it, and we all know that ChatGPT is not capable of being wrong.
I also asked for a biblically accurate stealth bomber and got this:
Looks like the new wish.com-lookin’ “stealth” bomber the Russians say they’re making, but almost certainly won’t actually produce
I mean, it looks pretty cool tho...
Religion + Weapons = Bad Idea
DISAGREE
WEEEE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS! WEEEE WILL FIGHT THE HEATHENS!
ON TO JERUSALEM! Onward Christian Soldiers!
Source?
Voices in OP's head, I'd wager
Good for meme
That is a completely made up number.
The corporation of the Mormon church does have absurd wealth and resources, tons of real estate, investments, etc, but estimates say it is worth between 100-300 billion in worth.
That's a lot, but definitely not trillions lol
Am i supposed to know every weird sect on the world?
Biblically accurate helicopter in action
Or fund medics and veteran rehabilitation and move the surplus to weapons, for a guilt-free donation
