Heh. Sometimes people try to tell me Mormons have higher suicide rates, and point to Utah statistics to back them up. I just point out that Utah is less than half active LDS, and then I just pull a notion out of the air: It's only the non-LDS folks killing themselves, because they know the church is true. Sure, it's a stupid guess, totally unsupported by any facts or studies. But then again, so is their original claim.

Ohhh....

Isn't that interesting? No data on RC suicide or Lutherans.
