also, unrelated, my PC has been locked by ransomware and Jesus told me to ask the church for $1500 in Bitcoin
Joseph Smith comes to mind immediately, but have y’all heard of Maurice Doreal?
Joseph Smith 2024
To me the Mormon episode is South Park’s best (until season 9, where I stopped watching).
That’s what inspired me to make this actually.
He found the stones and golden plates (Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb) Even though nobody else ever saw them (Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb)
According to Mormon canon, there were a very select few that did see the plates, and an even fewer amount that saw an angel present them as well. Many of these people left the church later on
Funnily enough, I remember reading that many of the people who claimed to have seen the golden plates, when pressed, said they witnessed them “spiritually”, not physically.
That’s some twenty-first century Joseph Smith bullshit right there.
