[Radiomanic]

One of my favourite south park episodes. A more retarded version of an already retarded religion.

[gewaltiger]

[Uninspired123]

mormons are actually really nice people in general, i really think they have good intentions, of course their worldview in my opinion is seriously seriously skewed, but no different than any major religion really.

Mormans? Are you confusing Mormans with manmores?

I had the same exact thought when I saw this thread.

But, anyway, Mormons are alright. The actual principles they espouse are tough to argue with. The story behind the religion is pretty absurd, though.

[Melkor]

I'm a manmore AND a Mormon!

[Fat Bastard]

I remember once in history class the professor was talking about mormons. Then some kid raised his hand and said "I'm a mormon" then the professor lol'd and some the of the students also started laughing. But he wasn't kidding he really was mormon. Then he got pissed and made a long speech about what the mormon religion is all about and how we should respect people with different views.

You can get it for like a buck on iTunes. I have it, and its kind of eerie how many LDS families I know like the one that move to South Park. I think you'd get a chuckle out of it.

[CoorsLight]

I went through a similar thing in high school. I was the only Mormon in my graduating class (not quite 500 kids). When we got to the section in my AP US History class on "Utopian Societies" and started on Mormonism, the whole class just started staring at me. My teacher didn't know I was LDS, and as soon as she did, she asked me to give that portion of the lecture, and correct her notes.

I did, as if anyone listened. But the irony was when we took the real AP exam that year. One of the required essays, the DBQ, was about the Mormon migration to Utah. I whipped out the essay in 20 minutes. When we got out of the exam, my teacher, an AP grader, just looked at me and shook her head. "You blew the water out of that one, I guess." She told me later that she saw my essay score, after another grader had finished with it. I got a perfect score.

But the other side was my senior AP English Comp class. We did a two day essay test on the Book of Job vs. JB by Archibald Mcleish. I wrote it from the LDS perspective and my teacher decided that I was a religion expert. I could do pretty well with most of her questions, but some were so outlandish that it made the whole class burst out laughing at how stupid they were (Ex. Asking a 17 year old Mormon for an off the cuff explanation of Abraxan Gnosticism, for example. http://altreligion.about.com/library...efsabraxas.htm )

Lmao, I googled Abraxan Gnosticism .. and no results. I come back and i'm already taken care of.

I thought most people would have never heard of it. So, it was best to add a link to a small description. It figures in Herman Hesse's Demian.

There must not know many Mormons.

[iamlegend]

I hear that President Hinkley should be on MTV cribs. Not only is his ride pimped out but lives in a 2.5 million Condo.

[bmy-]

Well, for one thing he recently died, so that's one strike against your info. For the second, he lived in an apartment across the street from the office where he worked, he didn't own that apartment, the church did, and the only "pimping" that has been done to that car was to make it bulletproof.

Fixed. Just covering for you.

[jlick]

btw, I know a couple mormons. My dentist is one....really nice guy. Then my friend is one. he just got back from his mission. anyways...he's 21 but he never buys me beer. what a freaking jerk!

That episode is pretty funny, but there are some pretty obvious "errors" in what they say Mormons believe. Just so people know, that story is inaccurate.

[Ultimus]

you really trust an episode of south park to teach you about a religion?

[BJplayer]

The mormon religion was based on the charlatan Joseph Smith. Its obvious that he completely made up the entire book of mormon and it is clearly a scam. That said, the LDS has created a very good religion out of that phonies teachings. Mormons are all very cool people with close families and great morals. I dont belong to any faith, but really admire all the mormons that I know. If Smith wasnt such a fraud and liar, and I could believe at least a scintilla of what he wrote, then I would join the LDS. My problem is that I cant turn my mind off and accept his teachings.

The Mormon family that used to live down the street was a near copy to the one in the episode, they were cool people though, always having bbq's and such.

ey im a moron

Fixed.

please provide a reputable source/evidence for the Book of momron being a scam, and phony and a fraud.
