RationalWiki<p>The Book of Moron Mormon is a kick-ass musical by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It is also one of the four main holy scriptures of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its offshoots (the other works being Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants, alongside the King James Version of the Bible), and by far the easiest one to get hold of due to the LDS church's printing of vast numbers of inexpensive copies for proselytizing purposes. It presents itself as another testament of Jesus Christ — comparable to the Bible — and purports to tell the story of Israelite expatriates who fled Jerusalem and wound up in the Americas, some of whose descendants allegedly witnessed the appearance of the risen Jesus among Native American populations (said in Mormon theology to be the descendants, partially, of these Israelite expats). </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RationalWiki</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Mormonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mormonism</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookofmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookofmormon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/lds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lds</span></a> <br><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Book_of_Mormon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rationalwiki.org/wiki/Book_of_</span><span class="invisible">Mormon</span></a></p>
