A statue of the Angel Moroni sits atop the Salt Lake Temple in a 2015 photo. The temple was damaged Wednesday in an earthquake that also dislodged Moroni's trumpet.
(CNN)The 5.7-magnitude earthquake that shook Utah Wednesday morning also dislodged a symbolic part of Salt Lake City's iconic Mormon temple: the trumpet of an angel statue atop its highest spire.
The temple is the spiritual focal point for the 16 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"The trumpet on the Angel Moroni statue fell off, and there is minor displacement of some of the temple's smaller spire stones," said Daniel Woodruff, a spokesman for the church.

If Moroni could drop his trumpet, Magna could drop its "n".
Mormons are no threat to me.* I hope they can quickly repair the damage.

I can't help but think of L. Ron Hubbard saying ”If you want to get rich, you start a religion.”

Hmmm. Wonder if Joseph prophesied that
Miles Davis or Chet Baker.
So a Moron lost his trumpet?
“...The whole creation story of Joseph Smith has always struck me as very, very shaky....”
Yep. the book: “No Man Knows My History” by Fawn M. Brodie is quite the “eye opener” on good, old Joseph...IF you can find a copy.
Great trumpet players also!
South Park has actually nailed it on both of these cults.

Glue it back.
A god of flesh & bones named Elohim who lives on a planet near star Kolob, two warring tribes of Jewish Indians on North America; one dark-skinned and the other “white and delightsome”, a created Jesus who is the brother of Satan....
Promises of individual godhood & a planet of one’s own, populated by spiritual children begotten by endless celestial sex with a multitude of wives...
Mandatory wearing of magic underwear and observance of hundreds of regulations grown out of the Book of Mormon, proxy baptism of the dead, weddings of the faithful which non-Mormons are forbidden to attend....
Harsh judgement against all Christian denominations, which the COJCOLDS overthrew with the coming of their prophet Joseph Smith....
All just a bit much, in my opinion.
The word is sodomite or degenerate...not gay.

“In all honesty, I feel sorry for them.”
We have good friends that are Mormon.
We visited them and their grandparent’s home in Idaho while we were on vacation. The town had a brand new temple, not even open yet. The temple was beautiful. Gleaming white marble, spires, green grass and gardens amidst the brown sage brush and grasses. At night - all lit up - it was an amazing sight.
I told my kids (young at the time) “That building is really beautiful. But just like SO MANY things in life, it looks really great - but it is a deception. So be careful.
Wasn’t it the ELCA Synod when they passed gay marriage and lightning struck the cross from the steeple? Or was it the PCUSA?
These folks have been planning what to do about their transgender members lately, and...
Also, they sent Minion to DC to mess with Trump...
BOOM!
