“Mormonism” In Cartoon Format

9:16 pm EST December 6th, 2007 | News | 7 Comments

I don’t know enough about Mormon theology to know if this bit of propaganda is accurate or not (I know more about the people and the movement than what they worship) but it’s clear distinction from mainstream Christianity and the fact that it’s got over 500,000 views on Youtube can’t help someone like Mitt Romney.

Perhaps if the mainstream press and the right would have been even remotely in opposition to the attacks on John Kerry’s faith in 2004 I would be a bit more sympathetic about people asking Romney about his church’s practices.

    I just hope this does enough to get him the nomination. Or kills him enough so that Huckabee gets the nomination.

    Oliver, you “neutral” negro bastard…

    I’m going to have to re-think Scientology’s place at the head of the “bat sh*t insane” table.

    “I’m going to have to re-think Scientology’s place at the head of the “bat sh*t insane” table.”

    Scientology is still crazier, only because it was created so recently. To someone born in the time of John Smith, hieroglyphics looked like magical writing.

    However, even when L. Ron Hubbard first wrote dianetics, it was clear it was crap.

    Why am I expecting them to break out into the theme from Rocket Robin Hood?

    It’s widely believed that Hubbard knew he was scamming his followers with his Scientology claptrap, which would give the deluded but sincere Mormons the edge, too. Still, it’s interesting to note that there are some areas of overlap between the two, i.e. the notion that we are vessels for some collection of cosmic spirits.

    The absurd notion that this was “Romney’s JFK speech” really burns my toast, though.
    Kennedy was 100% clear when he called for an absolute separation between church and state. Good ‘ol Mitt fell all over himself to accommodate the Christian wingers, asserting that America has to have religion or it isn’t really free (“no freedom without religion”) and that those dirty traitorous secularists are trying to tear down all other religions and supplant them with their own Godless dogma (“It is as if they’re intent on establishing a new religion in America – the religion of secularism. They’re wrong,”). Don’t forget the secular war on Christmas, Mitt. Time to get Bill O’ on the phone.

    What a bunch of nuts!! I guess there will always be some percentage of the population willing to believe almost anything.

    Are there any short cartoons out there that explain Scientology?
