Oh I have no doubt a Trey Parker/Matt Stone musical would be a hoot, and probably intelligent as well in the process. Can't wait for the inevitable big budget Oscar bait movie.

I still argue this should be our NEW national anthem.

Of all the religions those guys have had fun with, the Mormons seem to be one of the most common. Not just on South Park but also with Orgazmo (which came out when I was on my mission, for crying out loud) and now this play. They actually did pay us a compliment, of sorts, because they said they knew from the start there wouldn't be any negative reaction from the Mormon church. Mormons are too "nice." Parker and Stone seem to have a certain liking for us but see us as lovable, naive fools. There a couple more that I want to see their faces on that day.

Come on ivy you gotta have a little sense of humor yeah sure it's poking fun of Mormonism but these guys poke fun of EVERYTHING for crying out loud.

You gotta admit to the average schmo "sailing to upstate New York in 600 BC where Mormon wrote down a bunch of stuff on golden plates only to be found again by Joseph smith in 1823 in his backyard (and he's the only one who can read them...shocker)" is pretty hilarious. I don't have a problem if someone follows Mormonism at all but it shouldn't be surprising that not many take it seriously.

I'm saying they've poked fun at Mormonism more often. And, I'm not sure it's accurate to say they've gone after everything. They wussed out with that South Park episode on Islam.



It's more understandable that atheists and agnostics have a hard time believing the Joseph Smith story. I don't give religious folk, particularly Christians, the same pass because there are any number of things in the Bible that could be said to be just as unbelievable.

And, for the record, 11 other people verified that the plates were real. They saw them and held them, including the engravings on the plates.

Furthermore, Professor Charles Anthon in New York examined some of Joseph's translations, and said they were correct, more so than any he had before seen translated from the Egyptian. He also examined some as yet untranslated characters and said they were Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic.

Finally, if not taking Joseph's word about how the Book of Mormon came about, people are then under the obligation of explaining how an rather uneducated man in his mid-20's, who had never been anywhere outside of upstate New York, could produce the Book of Mormon in only 2 months. It was simply impossible for somebody like him to do so and every alternative theory has failed to explain it.
