Unfortunately, I'm spending a lot of time home and fuzzy thanks to the pain killers I'm on. As a result, I've been watching a lot of TV. Yesterday, I re-watched the Mormon episode from South Park. It's the first time I've watched it since I left the church two years ago. Back then, I was shocked to discover the portrayal of Joseph Smith "translating" out of a hat was true! All my life I'd been taught that there was a complex set-up on a table with sheets and whatnot.
Now I realize how easy they went on the church. They could have had lot more fun with that episode. Here are a few things I think would have enhanced the episode:
1) Multiple first vision accounts
2) The Jaredites
3) Polygamy (come on South Park!!?!)
4) Temple clothing/garments
5) Word of Wisdom
What other things do you think they should have poked fun at and brought to light?
