Not as funny as South Park's own cartoons parodying it or scientology, but still quite amusing. I like its retro aspect.

As Sam Harris says, Mormonism is objectively less believable than Christianity. Why? Because, while Christianity is a set of highly implausible propositions, Mormonism is just Christianity with the addition of some even more implausible propositions.
Of course, if we're going to be comparing evidence, then I have to admit that the evidence for the historical claims of Islam is actually significantly better than the (rather thin) evidence for the historical claims of Christianity.
Of course, the evidence for all three (Mormonism, Christianity and Islam) pales in comparison to the evidence for the divinity of the modern Indian "God-Man" Satha Sai Baba. Thousands of western education people have testified under oath to his miracles, including (I'm told) raising the dead. We all easily reject those claims as the wishful thinking of deluded cultists. Yet many of us refuse to take the same critical attitude to claims made by Bronze Age people written down decades after their purported occurrence...

Atticus, you boob. Mormonism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism - they all require faith. Just one look at Sai Baba and any idiot can tell he's a god. No faith necessary, see? That's why those other religions are different.

Are you mocking the Holy Orange-Robed Diven Afro'd One! How dare you?!?! Like Mohammed, he's a paedophile. Like Jesus he's a mystic. Like Joseph Smith he's a conman. He truly is, as he claims, the reincarnation of all the God-Men of the past ages come to set the record straight.

Though the drawings are really crude, some of the motions are amazingly fluid. I wonder if they roto-scoped some of that.
Good film, either way.

There's a lot of dark themes in The Adventures of Mark Twain. But "The Mysterious Stranger" sequence is my favorite. Good find.

Amusing video because their is just enough truth to look good but enough misinformation to be propaganda.

I was disapointed by the lack of the mysterious pre-columbian horse.

Man...
FIFY's should generate an automatic one day ban. Surely there's got to be a code out there for that. Spoony? Spooooonnny?
