Mormons use the Bible I’m kinda lost

But they have Bible Part III, and most Christians say they only made two.

On multiple levels.

The Book of Mormon is an extremely boring read.

And the Torah is basically a remix of even older stories.

Wow! So the Bible is actually a trilogy, and the Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?

I'm convinced!

The Book of Mormon is more like the SW holiday special, ROTJ is actually good.

Edit: I am aware of the Book of Mormon musical reference, no need to downvote, but the Book of Mormon book is poorly written garbage more in line with the holiday special imo

He's referencing the Musical by the creators of South Park, The Book of Mormon.

It's one of the earlier songs when they're trying to sell their 1st world problem, white religion to impoverished Africans that could not give less of a fuck because nothing of the teachings pertain to their daily struggles.

I'm aware of the reference and adding yet another, this time to Star Wars and the infamous holiday special.

Alrighty, thank you for letting me know.

OT : Surprise hit, great cast of characters, twisted story, sex and violence. Obviously very derivative, but so what. Ends on a "who is this Messiah guy" cliffhanger.

NT : The Reckoning. Hero reveal, toned it down for mass appeal, walks on water and stuff, hero suffers, but wins the day, saves humanity, resolution. Massive worldwide hit.

Great franchise. End.

...

Mormons : Let's make part III ! Set in America ! Call the hero John Smith or some shit ! We can retcon whatever. People just lap this shit up. My nephew can write the script, he's free on Thursday nights.

...

Scientologists : Let's coin in on this with a new franchise, with aliens and space wars and can we get Nolan to direct it ?

As an individual that has survived Mormonism, I appreciate this accurate and yet hilarious comment. Don't let cults ruin your life, people.

They also use the Book of Mormon and a couple of others. I'm not certain but I doubt they're widely available in schools (outside of Utah at least).

u/Doctor_KilljoyPHD Apr 27 '22

Well there's the old Testament, the original. Then there's Testament 2: Jesus Rises, and the Mormons read Testament 3: Jesus Goes to America. All in all a disjointed, and incoherent trilogy.

Their religion is old enough to be like, "my grandpa was there and he said it didn't happen like that."

u/babybopp Apr 27 '22

So Mormons are not really christians per SE but are a branch of religion by their own.. if u look into their beliefs they can be called a branch religion. They even have their own bible like book called The Book of Mormon. It has other shit in there ...

Not really. At this time you’re a Republican first, whatever religion you believe second, and a democracy loving American a way, way distant third. The LDS church is overwhelmingly Republican.
