>Listen, I just wanted to let you know you don't have to worry about me trying to be your friend anymore. Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life, and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls.How do you respond without sounding mad?
Mormon kid will be fine, he has legos, dirty soda, and complete immunity to consequence in the state of Utah.

Let me guess: OP saw the lego shit and made a cunning bait thread?
Stan just wanted to reveal the truth. Not just to his own family, but to the Mormons as well.Stan's family converted and he thought well enough to investigate it and reveal his findings.He was trying to do everyone a favor.This really sort of follows the allegory of the cave.But in this instance he managed to reach his family. But Gary's was still set in their religion.I guess in this case I'd say: 'I just wanted to reveal the truth.'

>>154002195When reality is stranger than fiction. This is seriously something you'd expect out of an episode of Fillmore! Recess or South Park or Kids Next Door.Soon enough we'll hear stories about grown ass men fighting over millions of dollars worth of ponies and World of Warcraft accounts and Runescape 1-character names.I'm telling you, the world is getting more immature as we speak and soon there will be no adults to throw the case away saying "This is so ridiculously dumb I'm not even going to register it as a real thing. Grow the fuck up or go to the mental asylum, you manchildren".
>>154001463>How do you respond without sounding mad?Bricks and Minifigs.
>>154001463>How do you respond without sounding mad?You sound like a fag and your shit's all retarded - Idiocracy. ;) >you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my WEEDGIEEE. Trey is such a naive gullible fool like all rednecks. I found it odd that the 4 boys didn't take a shit on the mormon like they did in the beginning of the episode just like Pip & Butters who are just as faggy and nice as Gary. You can always tell when Trey/Randy is being a retard doing the wrong morals cause he jumped on the bandwagon. I'm surprised Trey didn't jump on the horse bandwagon like with the morons, who knows what morons/mormons convinced him to do it. You don't get into a group/religion by yourself unless you're the odd one out where the group hates you cause you're doing it differently.
>>154008770How'd that work out for her?
As a non-american I do find the most insightful, least bigoted and boastful americans to be former religious adherents, for whatever reason. People who were raised in strict mormon or catholic households, but didn't stick with it. I can only speculate as to why, it's like they were disciplined and adhere to a moral/ethical code, even if they found it somewhere else.
I give Mormons a pass because i really love dirty soda.
After that Bricks and Minifigs debacle, I don't think Mormons are as chill as their reputation precedes...
>>154008925Thats because Mormon's operate on a significantly smaller scale than Christians/Jews. Instead of world domination they move into smaller communities and completely takeover every walk of life.Utah is particular is infested by Mormon's due to the Church of Latter Day Saints being based in SLC.Theres a few good documentaries about the Mormon church and just how vicious they can be, you just never hear about it because like I said its on a way smaller scale but they absolutely fuck peoples lives up.
>>154005438Kek
>>154009377not that funny
>>154002195I love how the internet takes "Mormons steal legos" more seriously more than "the church of Latter Day Saints took advantage of tax exemption status to funnel $32 billion into a private investment fund through a network of shell companies for over 20 years"
>>154009251Scientology tried to copy the playbook in Clearwater, Florida, but people hate scientologists so much that they just turned an entire fucking downtown into a ghost town.The other issue is that scientologists are too tight knit and tried to actively drive out the people already living there.Fascinating story because this was once a thriving small on the cusp of a population and economic boom until the scientologists basically killed it. Since there were always far fewer scientologists than people expected, it murdered the economy when all the businesses that would have been scientology owned move in.
>>154010606I mean if they have $32bil, stealing $200k worth of legos just seems like a dick move
>>154001463Then why not be a less heretical form of Christian that doesn't still half advocate for harems if it's just about "a good message".
>>154010657It's probably more actually. $32 billion was the whistle blow. Found to be $37b during the SEC investigation. Long story short>Church has tax-exempt status as a public religious entity>Ensign Peak Advisors is the private firm but basically part of the church with how much it works in church leadership>Whistleblow.jpeg>SEC look into it and see that there were correlative growth rates that would make literally no fucking sense unless neither entity weren't being fully honest about how money was being moved>Big investigation>A bunch of hidden shell companies and corporate donors with a shit ton of prominent businessmen in on it, to the point Church was essentially being used as an investment bank with all those lovely little tax loops from the religious exempt status. Money funneled into the investment which went back into the church which went back into the investment via shell companies.The scandal isn't that they had the investments but that they used a shit ton of legal fuckery to fudge numbers, dodge taxes.The church got fined one million, the fund got fined 4 million.It's also been speculated that the vast majority of megachurches do this which is the real reason you keep seeing big celebrities and businessmen joining them. But Ensign peak is the single biggest case of it in US history.

Wah!That honestly can't be the only the only reason and I'm familiar with watching Lego-construction channels and there is yet to be talk about a shortage in any of them.

>>154015398That Mormonism managed to flourish into an actual full on religion never fails to amaze me. Even the most of sheepish of sheepfuckers shouldn't believe in the stupidity of this shit and yet lo and behold.
>>154011681People give far more of a shit over how the Mormon mafia used the Utah police department to help a toy company try and steal an old man's possessions as well as start a shit-flinging contest with the law and youtube. The fact a bunch of out of touch mormon capitalist fatcats are preparing to waste millions of dollars in legal fees over the right to legally steal a dying man's lego block that was estimated at being worth 200k just makes it more ridiculous.

The senior leaders approved a plan to "gradually and carefully adapt Ensign Peak’s corporate structure to strengthen the portfolio’s confidentiality." This included the creation of six more shell companies, whose managers had "common names and a limited presence on social media, and were therefore less likely to be publicly connected to Ensign Peak or the Church." Selected managers were given limited information on the purpose of the shell companies.[9][1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Securities_and_Exchange_Commission_charges_against_the_LDS_Church_and_Ensign_Peak_Advisors

>>154016320Nah. More likely just an anon trolling.
>>154010606That's an airy white-collar crime that's hard for Joe Sixpack to follow. So when he says "I don't understand, what did they do that was wrong?" it can easily be defused by some useful idiots (or mormons with marching orders) going online and saying "Uhhh something something, liberals just hate religion! That's all it is, go back to sleep!" (Which you can see people doing in this very thread.) But you can't wave away "stealing $200,000 of stuff from a dead guy and getting the cops to help you do it" like that, it's plainly obvious to any layman who's in the wrong there.
>>154016768>"Uhhh something something, liberals just hate religion! That's all it is, go back to sleep!" (Which you can see people doing in this very thread.)Huh. I just assumed that was bleedover from the various bitching threads right now.
>>154016768>>154016982The issue isn't that the church does stuff wrong though. The issue is libs using that as a way to say a religion and it's followers are evil. Simple truth is that Mormons are a strong communities of whites, so libs just use any controversy to shit on the whole religion
>>154017062I mean it helps that Mormonism was founded by a known alcoholic conman. Doesn't take much effort to shit on that.
>>154017111What does that matter when it's an ultimately good force in the world? Millions of people benefit in a positive way from that religion. Why does that bother you?
>>154017156It doesn't bother me. That doesn't mean I can't make fun of it, though.
>>154017156Couldn't you just do Pilates?
>>154017173You wouldn't post about it of it didn't bother you. I'm sorry religion scares you
>>154017208You seem a bit too oversensitive for 4chan.
>>154017179You can't embezzle $35 billion through doing Pilates, try to keep up. Muh Liberals is a deflection, to keep people from seeing what they're doing.
>>154001463Everyone I know who grew up Mormon has crazy parents and escaped it to live a not-so happy life due to knowing that they were raised by doomsdayers, and nothing they learned as a child is real or normal. Their parents don't believe in real medicine and it led to their kids having lifelong health problems as adults. Playing board games and being nice is fun when you're a kid but Matt and Trey didn't grow up around these people as adults. I highly doubt that Matt and Trey would ever socialize with a Mormon, they mostly view them as naive simpletons who live in Colorado.This point that Matt and Trey make is such a cop-out because they didn't know how to end the episode in a punk, subversive way and the only way to do that is to ironically support Mormons. It's one of many times they've had retarded endings, the other being the Manbearpig episode being anti-climate change. Their hate for liberals and libertarians made them contrarians for most of their 30s.Truth is, Mormons are fucking weird people and they are cult-like in their dull towns. It's not a normal religion by any means, it originated as a sex cult for Joseph Smith. You don't have to be Atheist to be smart, but being Mormon is genuinely one of the dumbest choices an adult can do and one of the worst things you can do for raising a family. The only reason they're nicer to Mormons than Scientologists is that Scientology is an LA celebrity cult, not a blue collar cult from their hometown.
>>154017260>You can't embezzle $35 billion through doing PilatesYou're just not trying hard enough, anon.
>>154017279>the other being the Manbearpig episode being anti-climate changeto be fair they went back on that and made an entire episode to point out that they had been stupid faggots about it.
>>154008341To be fair this is also the fault of adults bringing boring adult stuff such as "investment" into the hobby, doing it only for hte money and no playing or building, so it isn't is as zany as it sounds at first.
>>154018416Huh, I never saw that one, but good on them.
>>154001463>How do you respond without sounding mad?Mormonism is an insular cult which subverts local communities and aims to eventually replace all nearby with more mormonism, which is just a cover for fraud and tax evasion at the very least and more than likely aristocratic horrors at mostEvangelicalism has been a disaster for the US and human race
>>154018867It was a two parter, even. Time to Get Cereal (s22e6) and Nobody got Cereal? (s22e7).
>>154001463Hm... Surprisingly difficult. I think the most I can do is point out that if having activities with your family and being nice to other people is what you like about being a mormon, then it shouldn't require you to accept everything else about Mormonism. Admittedly, that is a counter-argument against the idea that any religion is good simply because churches are glorified community centres and as if a charity bake sale can't happen unless you attach belief in god to it. The foundation of mormonism in particular is very clearly bullshit, it can't even hide behind ambiguities in the historical and archaeological record like most other religions, or even ingrained traditions going back to time immemorial. Knowing anything for sure about Jesus is impossible because the only evidence of his existence are biased texts all written decades after he died, so we don't know how much is bullshit. The Exodus out of Egypt and the conquest of Canaan may have been confirmed to be fiction fairly recently, but the tradition of thinking it was real stretches back so far that it will take a very long time for the belief in it to completely fade.With Mormonism, it just falls apart. Smith lived about 200 years ago, when record keeping of any schmuck since birth was in full swing, so we know this idiot was a conman before he started his church, that the church was a con for him to get laid/power and that he didn't die a martyr. The book of Mormon itself, ignoring the obvious attempt to shield it from a contradictory "translation", makes no sense as a historical document. All the evidence points to Native Americans being from East Asia long before Hebrews ever existed with no indication that any Jews lived in the Americas before Columbus, with the introduction of old world farm animals being something that would have been known in Smith's own time, etc.Be nice if you want but you don't need to pretend this bullshit has anything to do with being nice.

>>154001463I used to live in Utah for around 11 years, I don't think I have any drive to tell them "your religion is bullshit" when most of my friends, teachers, ect were mormon and never made it a problem.

>>154023996It's because the "bad ones" run your police departments and local government offices. Kind of a power disparity, even if the raw numbers are with the good ones.
>>154014042if you need to use the fear of going to hell to make people good then maybe those people were never that good to begin with.
South Park threads are all stealth threads to talk about politics and religion. The only real discussion is in the generals.
>>154001463pretentious
>>154023587Having grown up in a non-religious family, literal grown ups congregating into cults and using their own fairy tales unironically as justification for their actions (ranging from passing legislations banning/mandating things to being nice/hateful to certain groups of people or literally murdering others) feels pretty fucking scary to me.It's especially insane you're expected to pretend you take these people seriously.
>>154001463Why Europeans are so obsessed with Eastern religions. I’d rather have pagan loons or any other kind of loons than Christian loons. At least they revere something that originated from their own people. The Bible is largely ethno-nationalist propaganda. Even Norse religions are more open to outsiders.
>>154008238The problem is the most hardcore and annoying of fundies aren't inherently good people. They're nasty and evil and the world of the Bible, any Bible, and the fear of punishment is the only reason they do good. You can tell because of how evil they get when it's against an 'acceptable' target. Meanwhile actually good people don't need a leash. They aren't perfect but they aren't inherently evil either so they're mostly just okay.
SP fans are a bunch of fudge packer losers that are into /cm/ and /ss/ stuff involving the stupid boy characters
>>154024390If a cartoon treads on religious or political grounds, it's inevitable. If you want to be more on topic why not ask why the South Park team decided to give Mormons, who already had exposés on them out since a some time ago, such a favorable depiction in their cartoon?
>>154001463>How do you respond without sounding mad?Almost every Mormon friend I've had, to include a few that I've known since elementary school, has grown up to have various religious traumas and psychosexual complexes, and most distanced themselves from or outright quit the church. That says more than I ever could
>>154001463You can do all that without a big stupid storybook written by a lying con-man.
>>154027645The 3 middle-eastern religions (practically different flavors of the same thing) took over most of the world and decimated thousands of cultures. That was the whole point.>>154024223>Those people are capable of critically analyzing and making difficult, mature decisions about ideas they were indoctrinated from birth into believingI suppose this is true. The opposite is quite tragic and a lot more common too.It appears a lot of people seem to be disappointed in religion, which was forced onto them in most cases, in their teens and 20s, where it's most natural to experiment and rebel, and then they "rediscover" it and become religious again. So it's basically a mind virus that goes into dormancy for a decade or two, only to come back eventually.
>>154001492Dirty soda?
>>154029115It's a thing Mormons innovated because they're not allowed to have alcohol, and they only recently got okay with colas (and only because Mitt Romney was caught drinking one in public). You basically take any soda you can think of, then add candies, flavored syrups, or coffee creamer (I don't know where they get it, if nobody drinks coffee...), and that's your dirty soda.
>>154029115>>154029200It's a recent creation. You take a soda, add cream and some flavors, and ta-da. My sister has been drinking them instead of beer recently.
How similar are Mormons and JWs in terms of fucked up cult tactics?
I would've never acted like Stan to begin with to get the conversation to this point. If I were to antagonize Gary, it would be calling his religion polytheistic and saying that he's going against the word of God by believing a prophet who claims we can all become mini-gods of other planets.
>>154015148Where is the big bang in the bible? The bible says that the earth was created before the stars and the sky is a solid dome with water above it.And the big bang theory does NOT say that the universe began with the big bang. Only that it expanded from a singularity, and we have no idea what may have happened before that.

>>154029200>>154029271Huh, didn't know that. That's kind if neat I suppose.
