Southpark episode about mormons?

Question

so im mormon and ive heard a lot about a southpark episode about mormons. what did it say?

Answer 1

It merely told the true history of the Mormon church and its founders. And as with any religion, their history is rife with bloody, ignorant, selfish and desperate persons and situations.

Answer 2

Here's a good breakdown of how the episode goes:

The entire episode is on the Internet somewhere (not YouTube), but I can't find it at the moment. They put a spin on a few facts, but overall it was pretty accurate. I'm Mormon, and I actually thought it was a pretty funny episode. We sure didn't get blasted the way the Scientologists did, or how the Jews get blasted regularly on that show.

Are Mormons 'dumb' for believing what they (we) believe? I might answer yes to that if I hadn't read the Book of Mormon myself and prayed about it. I doubt Matt Stone or Trey Parker ever sincerely read the Book of Mormon and prayed about it, but that's okay. They're still entitled to their opinions.

Answer 3

It royally reamed Joe Smith as a fraud and a hack, but it basically said you were good people and that you did good things and that Stan and his family were the A holes.

It started with a Mormon kid in class who was smart, so the class voted Stan to go beat him up.
Stan tried, but the kid was too nice, and invited Stan to supper.
At supper the Family was all loving and happy and fun, and they told Stan the story of Joe Smith
Flashback on the story(dum-dedum played repeatedly between sequences)
Stan goes home, tells his dad what he learned
Mr. Marsh gets pissed, goes to the Mormon home
Mormon dad tells more of the story, more dum dedum chants.
Mr. Marsh ends up inviting them for supper, and rashly converts the Marsh family to LDS
in a flashback we see the publisher's wife hide the first copy of the first book
He goes and asked Joe to retranslate the book as proof of the divinity
Joe says that because of the doubts he can only translate a different telling of the same story, as God forbade him from translating the first book ever again
Publisher accepts this.
Stan hears that and gets super pissed.
later at the bus stop Mormon kid walks up, rips into Stan for being intolerant, and that he just wanted to be Stan's friend, but Stan was too much of an A hole to see beyond the faith.
Mormon kid tells Stan to 'S*ck h*s b*lls"
Cartman says that Mormon kid is now cool.

Answer 4

My standard episode is 'stable circumstances With weapons' from season 8. i know how they converted to Anime style to propose the boys' make-have faith. Plus it grew to alter into into very humorous and irreverent, precisely how South Park might desire to be.
