Discussion: mormonism
Thread about: mormonism
So your point is?
Go for it......just type faster.
This thread is about Mormonism ???
You know, you are the only person I have read on FR that says that, is that what you really think?
We would win elections if we did not nominate liberal smucks.
No kid
God is not “lampooned” in the book of morrmon...
The pagan mormon gods might be ...
but the musical is about Mormons not Christians...
God is not mentioned...
Thank you for answering a question I did not ask.
Did we run a sober, clean cut white boy?
Please provide examples, otherwise us stupid folks wont know what you are talking about..
LOL, you are reading the thread from end to beginning.
although God was lampooned in the book itself the book of mormon...
is that what you mean ???
The 50,000+ Mormon salesmen err “missionaries” lampoon God every day at the doors of Christians...
Joey Smith intended to lampoon God when he invented his new religion...
He stole and plagurized several chapters of Isaih and other books of the Christian Bible when he wrote his book of Mormon...
but no worries he admitted he was the sole author of the book and that he hadent translated or copied from anyone elses works, ancient reformed Eyptians or others...
well except for those glaring Bible verses...
and the rearanging of the Gospels to fit his own warped sick mind...
theres a lot of money in religion...
He didnt make much selling his book in Canada but he sure started something with his religion as a Mohammad wannabe...
My question is: if what the op (original poster) posits is true, that the existence of this musical means that it is easy to lampoon God because Mormons are “counterfeiters,” then what does the existence of “Piss Christ” and Jesus Christ Superstar prove about Christians?
Did we run a sober, clean cut white boy?

No the GOP ran a boy who admitted he had drank booze and smoked cigarettes and had admitted at the GOP Convention that his family were Mexican wetbacks...
Oh noez...
Wow, your are very fast at spamming! I am impressed.
The Mormons were lampooning the God of the Christian Bible 180 years before the musical the bom and before the “art forms” you mention...
Therefore, Christians are “counterfeiters?” (According to the standard set here?).
The Mormons were lampooning the God of the Christian Bible 180 years before the musical the bom and before the “art forms” you mention... [TN]
Precisely.
Christians haven't extended invitations to "artsy" types to feature urine, whether or not it has anything to do with them degrading Christ.
Mormons, on the other hand, "made it big" in 2011 on Broadway...in part, via their open invitation to others via their vast missionary enterprise to regard what they believe about getting their own planets...
Here are lyrics from the "I Believe" song from the Book of Mormon musical...what I regard as both the heart of the song AND the musical:
I believe-
That God has a plan for all of us.
I believe-
That plan involves
Me getting my own planet.

Tell us, Rudeboy, what do you think about this premise that if you...
...become a temple Mormon...
...get married, if not already...
...get your temple recommend from your Lds bishop...
...obey ALL of the extra Mormon commandments & covenants & ordinances & rituals...
...tithe 10%...
...and wear your magic underwear for protection...
...you can become your own god of your own planet???
Why not?
I understand the assertion that Mormon missionaries “invite” this sort of a thing. Thank God Christians don’t have missionaries.
