Mormonism is a joke coming from someone who has lived in Utah their entire life.

You’re confusing them with the Jehovah’s witnesses. It’s the witnesses who think only 144,000 people make it to heaven. The Mormons think all faithful people can go to heaven (and get their own planet and become a god it’s a whole thing there’s multiple different afterlives)

i remember listening to a podcast trying to learn more some years back. the second i heard the golden plates story i alr knew what it was. and then they started saying eden was in missouri? i didn’t even finish the series, i knew they were deeply unserious immediately 😭

And they have Jesus painted as a supermodel. After going to Mormon church multiple times, the south park episode on Mormonism perfectly sums it up.

He was actually a known conman before he founded Mormonism, which makes it even more wild

It actually comes from the book of Revelation in the New Testament. It repeatedly says that 144,000 people will be redeemed from earth in the end times. Most forms of Christianity tend to ignore that.
