"What the ƒ⩏⋤⋉ is this?!"
The Tony Award winning Musical, The Book or Mormon, is a religious satire. It pokes fun at organized religion, makes light of things some may consider too sacred, and in parts, it's down right filthy. But having only seen bits and pieces and reading the reviews, the one thing it doesn't seem to do is attack Mormons personally. They celebrate their strengths even if they make light of their weaknesses... something a lot of us actually do even with our family and friends.
The few doctrinal errors and over-generalizations aside, I think this song sums up the religious experience for many. Feel free to interpret this however you want. I believe those for and against can take away a message here. Personally, I think it's just fun and entertaining.
Now you've unleashed the hounds OF HELL! What's with the colorful metaphor?
ReplyDeleteToo much? LoL Wait a minute. Doesn't the Holy Ghost go to sleep after midnight? ;-)
ReplyDeleteNope. 10pm on a school night. You apostates don't know anything. haahaa
ReplyDeleteThis is a mockery! Beware the bitter fruits of apostasy! They shall be condemned to Outer Darkness!
ReplyDeleteUm, what's being condemned? The fruit? Lighten up. I'm sure you get a chuckle out of some of things other people believe. What's good for the goose, right? It's not vindictive or evil. Honest.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great song. Andrew Rannells is awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see this! Will my bishop approve? LOL
ReplyDeleteYou're falling behind again. Next topic!
