Hi again Satan. Nice to hear from you again.
You keep repeating questions that have already been asked. Perhaps you could use the search feature?
Garments, often called “Mormon underwear” by those unfamiliar with our beliefs, are a form of religious clothing used by some Mormons. In early adulthood, prepared Mormon men and women typically participate in the higher ordinances of the Mormon temple for the first time. During these ceremonies, they make sacred promises to God, including the promise to dedicate themselves to Him. The day these promises are first made is one of the most important days in the life of a faithful Mormon. From that day forward, Mormons wear their religious clothing underneath their “street closes” as a quite, inner reminder of the sacred promises made. Mormons don’t think of their garments as “underwear,” but rather a sacred reminder of their renewed dedication to God.
Mormonism is by no means the only religion that uses religious clothing as a symbol. Catholic clergymen have religious robes, protestant clergymen often use a distinctive “collar," Jews have their yarmulkes (skull caps), Muslim women wear the hijab, and the Sikh wear their turbans. I have even heard that some Orthodox Jews wear an undergarment with religions significance (the tzitzit), much like the Mormon garment.
Contrary to the allegations of many anti-Mormon bigots, Mormons do not believe that their garments are “magic.” They do not believe that garments necessarily “protect” them from physical injury. Garments serve only as a reminder of special promises made to God; because of this powerful religious symbolism, mocking the Mormon garment is a very offensive form of hate-speech.

The mormons forget this verse:
Ephesians 6:11-13
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
They do believe it is like the spiritual armor, but they believe it is bullet proof. I heard a story were a bull got out of a stall one time and it hit a Bishop and he was in the hosbital with bad wounds, they said his underwear saved him, but if it had, then he would have walked away without any brusing and sores or anything, thats called a miracles and real armor.

If they are lined with nomex, that's a possibility dear.
The traditional ones are not designed for this purpose though.
It's more comfortable to wear the bullet proof garment on top of the underwear you know....

Why don't they make complete suits and sell them to the armed forces or the police?
I'd buy one!
I don't just want 'scared' underjobs, I want a total 'scared' suit and a hat too!
In fact, how about a 'scared' cover for my car?
I'm scared to say so but this sounds like a winner.
I know it was a typo but you could at least check for same before you hit 'send'?

Yes. We can also leap tall buildings in a single bound, and are more powerful than a locomotive.
But, you gotta BELIEVE it.

The church itself doesn't claim it, but a lot of wives tales go around about it. No, it doesn't. But some how I think you knew that.

Possibly. It depends on how many of his wives give him a pair before he realizes he already has some on.
