Cartoon explains Mormon religion
I don’t know anything about Scientology, but apparently Mormonism is as strange as it is!!! I didn’t know that God was born on a distant planet and decided to create Earth is a council of Gods?
Here are some gems from this video (niday):
“Lucifer and his brother Jesus”
“those who remained neutral in the battle were cursed to be born with black skin”
“Joseph Smith, was known for his tall tales…he is now honored by Mormons as a prophet”
“those Mormons who are sealed in the eternal marriage ceremony expect to become polygamist gods in the celestial kingdom, rule over other planets, and spawn new families throughout eternity”
Interview: “a bishop counsel forced me to divorce my wife [because i stop believing]”
Interview: “my wife divorced me…because she couldn’t reach her level of god-hood with a [non-believer]”

Best quote: “Sounds like … Battlestar Galactica!”
That’s no surprise seeing as how the original Battlestar Galactica television series (1978) drew some of its themes from Mormon theology.
niday: I realize how staggeringly nerdy this comment is and give you full permission to reference it at any time in the future for purposes of my embarrassment.

I thought I’d comment to remark that this cartoon is far from accurate. It was created by an anti-Mormon group in the early 80s and its falsehoods have been debunked time and time again.
For example, in March 1984, the Board of the National Conference of Christians and Jews repudiated the film, saying “The film does not—in our opinion—fairly portray the Mormon Church, Mormon history, or Mormon belief.”

I don’t think it is accurate. It is just funny!
