Check out “Upper Room Cartoon”
There’s a new Mormon-themed Youtube channel, and it looks very promsing: The Upper Room Cartoon. Two cartoons have been posted so far. They look exactly the same: five white guys who are leaders of the church (have to admit that I don’t pay enough attention to who the leaders are,…
He Puts Us in a Shark Suit
My last post asserted that God is a jerk. I think the evidence supports that assertions pretty well. But maybe he’s a jerk with a really great sense of humor? Maybe everything seems so ridiculous to us because it amuses him to watch us run around and be scared and…

Is it just me or do a lot of Mormon kids wish they belonged to a big box church?
Because, when I see talent like this, I gotta wonder: Not to mention: Al Sharpton has suggested that these (big box) churches focus on personal morality issues while ignoring social justice. Maybe, but the kids seem to like it. And you can’t stop it: It’s already begun: Can you feel…
Which is your favorite song from “The Book of Mormon”?
Which is your favorite song from “The Book of Mormon”?survey software Chino put a link to the cast recording of God’s Favorite Musical in our sidebar a while ago, but I didn’t take the time to listen to the songs until people here started discussing them. My new advice: don’t…
Sabbath Police!! Apparently, Mormons crack themselves up making videos like these.
While the rest of us watch in horror. Or am I the only one frightened to discover that Mormons find this kind of thing amusing? As far as I can tell, this is another example of the Mormon surveillance culture that empowers anonymous snitches, got Brandon Davies kicked off a…
