This is either an attempt to describe the weirder aspects of the Mormon Book of Abraham, or the strangest episode of He-Man I’ve ever seen:

I’m not completely certain, but I think this is from a hour long cartoon that was distributed by the baptist church to warn people about the heresy of mormonism. If this is the one I’m thinking of I watched this in my baptist youth group in like 1994. Also the movie “Religulous” uses a clip from it.
For what it was, the film actually portrayed mormon belief surprisingly accurately. There was not so much of the devil worship accusations that fundies usually make when discussing other religions, I think the idea was that just stating these beliefs would be enough for the target audience, who would be consider this heresy without the narrator needing to point it out. Although you can totally hear the baptist rage in the narrators voice when he says “The mormons thank god for Joseph Smith, who claimed that he had done more for us than any other man including Jesus Christ”.
More Torah, Bible and Quran stories should be turned into animated movies to show all the absurdities of these books :)
I also absolutely love this video about 2 Kings Chapter 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFlrg22GjM8

When I was young enough to go to sunday school we had a set of tapes of this animated series where these 3 kids get transported back in time to the bible days. I am pretty certain it was actually produced for a Christian audience, we just had the old testament stories. It was sort of like all the cheap 80′s cartoons out there, but was about bible stuff. It was weird!
Curb stomp for Jesus. Such a win.
As a kid I got to watch a channel called middle east TV, broadcasting out of Cyprus (Israeli TV of the 70′s and early 80′s was consistent of a single, government run, channel the was suppose to be educational i.e fuc*ing boring). This was a christian station so in the evening they will have the 700 club and other crap american evangelical shows on but during the day they will broadcast cartoons, which as a 6 year old was what I cared about. In additional to spiderman and the incredible hulk they also had two nearly identical shows in which two kids a dog an a robot travel in time using a magic book (superbook) or a magic house (flying house) and visit different biblical stories, mostly from the new testament. These shows were so badly made both technically and creatively that I could tell they are BS even as a kid but they did have some, I don’t believe someone made such a piece of sh*t, funny element.
I loved those as a kid, but thats partly because compared to other christian programming it was Shakespeare in level of writing quality. (why are christians such shitty writers?)
It was 80′s propaganda and the guy paid a ton of money to get it made over in japan in hopes of converting japanese childrens. As I recall it was pretty popular in Russia back in the day.
I still love the flying house just because of how crazy sexist it is. It makes me laugh.
I could never understand why they bothered to create two shows, since apart from the means of travel it was the exact same show. Thinking back of it, we may have witnessed the birth of sockpuppetry.
Im Bald!!! now Im happy!
Unbelievably Messed-Up Bible Stories
This is from the film “The Godmakers”
yep, that’s from the godmakers, a classic
I didn’t know they used safety pins to hold diapers in the 1st century.
I have to admit, this theology sounds a lot cooler than orthodox chirstianity. Beats floating around for eternity praising jahweh.
Let me get this right……Joseph Smith gets all this from some tablets found in his backyard in up-state New York. No one has ever seen these tablets……what, they mysteriously disappeared? How convenient! Funny thing is that these “spirit people” appear to have the same physical characteristics as the Nazi’s view of the “Aryan race”. If by chance the Morons are right, I wish these super beings would return and beam them up. Considering how many people fell for this cropola, I swear there must have been something wrong with the drinking water in up-state New York.
For the love of Randall Munroe, tell me this isn’t accurate. Spirit children? Polygamist gods? Evil black people? FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!
Seems reasonable.
Are you supposed to laugh through the entire story? I did!
You actually are. Keep in mind that this is essentially anti-Mormon propaganda.
That said, I was surprised by how accurate, if not balanced, this description of Mormon Cosmology was.
