Mormons are not proper Christians
54Everyone knows Mormons are not proper Christians, but here is is one guy's take on the REAL TRUTH about Mormons.
Filmed in the heart of the Mormon Center of Power - Salt Lake City.
Possibly the funniest Anti-Mormon Video I have ever seen.
John Saffran is "Trading Places" with the Mormons.

lol - no idea lol
He looks like our magic Artist who died just recently
buried in WA
Perhaps he is - magic is in the air LOL
This guy is pretty funny though. :)
That video is pretty hilarious.
Yes - he is insane - he does all sorts and no one is safe - the Catholics, the Mormons, the KKK - he's great.:)
I watched the WHOLE series.
It wasn't just funny, it was educational.
Yes, he also knows what he's talking about :)
Dying to watch this, but I'm at work :(
John Saffron is very good at exposing the weak points in all religions!
LOL - He is at that.
That was absolutely hysterical!.I've never had a Mormon come to the door, but I've had a few Jehovah's Witnesses.
I usually invite them in and go over 3 passages or so from the Bible, and then...... I'm off the list. Haven't had one here in ages, and see them going up and down the street all the time. I guess they just want an easy "sign up". Debating is just too much work.
Thanks for the video Mark, quite funny.
LOL - my pleasure.
I'm going to make sure I lock my door on Saturday mornings! What would they do if it were Sunday morning?
hehe- I don't know - earlier maybe?
I really shouldn't laugh at this. It's against my Buddhist principles.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...but it's just too damn funny!
By the way, does he have one on Buddhists cause I would love to see it. :)
I don't think he has done buddhists yet, but I am sure if you go knock on his door he will oblige :)
I may not be atheist, but I know funny when I see it. Thanks for the laugh.
My pleasure. :)
Oh, brilliant, Mark. Who exactly *is* this guy?
He's an Aussie film maker - He has loads of them. LOL
Thanks for the vid Mark! Very enlightening. Sometimes teachers can be very wrong about things. I was surprised at some of the comments. The view in this article is what I have always read about the meaning of 'sexual misconduct'.
Loved it! Funny and educational!
Thanks - I wish I could take some credit - he's a funny guy. :)
Just another comment to tell you I adore your sense of humor, Mark. Thank you for keeping things entertaining here. :D
Thanks gamergirl - the one thing I never see the "other" lot doing - ever - Is having any fun. :)
I needed a good laugh, thank you so much.
My pleasue - I thought everyone had seen this. But when I checked, he has had very few page views and he is Funny, with a capital F
Funny and intelligent. A winning combination. :)
Hi Mark I really did enjoy that.
These door knockers early in the morning are my worst.
Diana
What about Jehova's Witnesses, though?? No Mormon has ever knocked on my door, but JWs have. Great video, Mark.
Mormons are not proper Christians and this is not a proper Hub!
(Sorry Mark couldn't resist)
Come on Mark - one video? I know you usually give too much information!
I agree it was funny though. Thanks for sharing.
GerryM
LOL - There is more than one reason to make a hub, but you are quite right.
Loved it Mark! Really funny!
Some of the greatest people I have known have been Mormans. I never gave a dam what they believed in, just that they treated me with dignity and respect. I have known 100s of them and they never have pushed their views or beliefs on me. If I asked about what they believed they would tell me.
As someone once incarcerated for failing to be a Morman in Utah, thanks for sharing. For more hilarity check out this and other Pat Condell masterpieces.
That is just tooo much. Lmao!
Lived in Dallas just 2 blocks from one of the larger Morman facilities. They had armed guards at their entry gate house. Makes you think! The place is more or less an enclosed compound. Use to live in KansasCity region and regularly had those young men annoying me. My place was completly fenced but it did not stop them from finding the front door.
Wow - Armed guards and incarceration for not believing - sounds very Christian to me LOL
This is pretty interesting. He looks like a magician.
Yes, he does. Funny though.
I -love- this hub. Have I told you that? :P
Yes you had, but you can tell me again LOL
Ok! I love this hub!
I love this hub!
Charlotte - you are awesome!!! Thank you.
You're welcome, dearie!
This is so funny. I really appreciate it since I live right in the middle of Mormonville, Idaho.
LOL - Poor you. I only did this after an argument with a mormon. He's a funny guy though.
Actually it's not so bad. Once they know your not part of their club they leave you completely alone. You become what they call, 'The Unworthy". LOL
This guy scares me...and thats saying a lot considering my profile pic.
He is obviously annoyed. LOL You should watch some of his other ones :)
Mormons live to push their views on others. They spend 2 years of their young lives traveling around places where they are not wanted. Here in Toulouse I have recently seen them going door to door in the Muslim neighborhoods. I should take a video, I'm sure some of the encounters are priceless.
Oh...Mark....I am a huge fan of yours! This hub disappoints...what is a proper christian? Have not we all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God? We are all in need of the saving grace that Christs Atonement offers!
LOL - You are obviously not aware of why I made this hub. Or have any idea of where I am coming from with this one.
No - I have not sinned. No I have not fallen short. There is no God. There is no Christ. You are sadly mistaken.
There is no such thing as a "proper" christian.
I show this video to all my friends, always a good laugh.
LOL - Me too. He does everyone from the KKK to the Catholics. As you know, I make no distinctions either. They are all as bad as each other.
now I am gonna check those out too, thanks!
Mark,
Very funny. Tho I am not an atheist, I have to agree that there is no such thing as a "proper Christian." It's amazing how many of the people who consider themselves to be "proper Christians" spend way more time talking about how much other people suck than they do actually trying to be "Christlike." Seriously, it's as though they have no idea who their "savior" even is!
Thanks for the laugh...I'm off to YouTube to find more from this guy.
Sara
LOL I know. This was posted in response to a big argument on teh forum. But JS is very funny.
well hey mark...I am willing to accept when I have missed the point. If so...I missed it LOL!
First I have to say, It was hilarious. I got quite a kick out of this guy. Being LDS and having a sense of humor are not mutually exclusive. I happen to be a member of the LDS church who believes in Natural Selection.
However there was one thing almost as funny as the video and thats the lady who lived down the street from some armed compound. LOL the LDS church doesnt have any armed compounds anywhere; let alone Texas? I'm sure the guy got arrested for his religion or lack thereof too...that would be a nice law suit would it not?
Yes, he is funny. Glad to see you have a sense of humor. You would be surprised how many believers (LDS or otherwise) do not :D
LOL - Yes - good lawsuit
like helenthegreat no mormons calling around these parts but we do get the jehovas every now and then.
old joke...whats the difference between a Lada and the Jehovas Witnesses?
you can close the door on the Jehovas! boom boom!
John Saffran - a Great Aussie comedy figure.
He came to prominence on a national TV show a few years ago, where people were sent around the world with some money and a camera, and their task was to make a program suitable for screening on TV.
He's been amusing us for ages with various topics.
And I've got nothing against God.
It's just his various fan clubs that I can't stand.
Cheers,
Eric G.
Loved these series - 'John Saffran versus God' I think it was? Very funny!
Not too much, not too little.. Great hub Mark
Hello Mark Knowles, You have a great sence of humor! This is my very first evening with Hubpages, and I look forward to reading your page daily!
Thank you, Gawn Fishin'
I like how people think sitting in a big chair with a fireplace in the background makes them seem more thoughful and important.
Good job. I usually never watch videos on the internet, but I watched this one :)
Thanks guys -
glassvisage - yes, he does make that point rather well I thought :)
No one should make light of sacred things. Maybe you believe there is no God, but the majority do not agree with you. Our country was founded on religious freedom in many forms. We need to be tolerant of all of them. That is what Christ taught.
This may be entertaining on YouTube, but it has no place here.
It is not sacred to me. And if you don't realize how stupid that comment sounds.....
Freedom of speech means I am free to make fun of your ridiculous beliefs. Tolerance brother, just be tolerant and tell yourself it is a test of your faith LOL
I agree with Mark, free speech. You know if sacred words / beliefs were never tested we would all still believe the world was flat and that the earth is the center of the universe.
Adam - there are still some people that believe that. I would think the ones that still believe Noah's flood wiped out the dinosaurs believe this :)
wow. hilarious!
WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE OF THE LDS MORmON CULT:
1) PIOUSED PRUDES -- who are going to have to eat their temples and statues before being forgiven of this sin. They have so much sickly pride that they reak with self-righteousness!!! BOLOGNA and Drakkar Noir. Go to Temple Square and look around. You'll see where all these fools money went. Of course they have to brag about all the famous MORmONS. The poor misguided geniuses like Browning who invented the rifle cartriges still used today. "With such intelligent people in our COMMIEunity religion-CULT! How could anyone not believe?" They take pride to a whole new level of disgust. In SLC there is enough self-righteousness to create a black hole. Everywhere you go there is pioused EXPENSIVE statuary and landmarks. You can even hear the statues bragging. Yeah, they have good craftsmanship and enginuity, so what! Just another reason for them to believe that they are above the regular NORMAL human race. A reason to invent the planet Kolob. Maybe we should send them back, yeah?!!!
2) RACIST BIGOTS -- who claim that was just the way it was in that time, BUT FAIL to ever say that they still and always will believe that blacks are the decendants of Cain. They truly don't want you in their church and they damned well don't want you fucking their sons and daughters and poisoning their blood with yours. They'll let you become a member, but in the collective mind(because individual minds don't exist and aren't acknowledged...esp. women), they know that no matter how hard you try...YOU'RE STILL DAMNED TO HELL!!! They are pro slavery as well. They exercise this in their women by raising their daughters to be second class citizens. ...and selling them to their highest bidding brother!!! ...As in religious cuckoo brother or literal brother. Not black brothers. They might not literally sell them, but they definately and eventually gain financial security enough to not end up in a second or third class retirement home. It's first class all the way and their wealth hasn't a damned thing to do with righteousness!!! That's the excuse they use. The LDS Church is a multi-billion dollar corporation. Maybe trillion! It's underlying purpose is to teach YOUNG aspiring white boys how to get rich and get the corporation richer, while banging as many wrongfully-wed bitches that they can get their hands on. If you "Choose The Right"(it should be CTW for "Choose The Wrong" or "Choose The White"), the corporation CULT with take good care of you!!!
3) Do I even have to tell you? You know what it is. The "P" word. POLYGAMY!!! Can you say PERVERT!!!? They sit around bitching about the fags just given the right to marry(and they say it just like that. I know...my company is ran by MORmONS and I overheard their conversation about it not being fair to plural marriage). They believe that they are "GODS IN A DEVELOPMENT STAGE" and that the more kids they have the more chance they have at being a God of THEIR OWN planet. You see? ...segregation. To each his own. Their own founder "profit" Joe Smith had plural marriages. He was even married to another mans wife who wasn't even a member of the church. Sounds like a good enough reason to kill a man to me.
4) MISC. STUFF -- Did you know that they have a massive and I mean MASSIVE weapons storehouse underneath the museum in Temple Square? Yeah, it's true! You know what that's for don't you? It's to ensure that they are the 144,000 or just in case the Army got froggy again. Would Jesus walk around with an M4? That's what they need to ask themselves, but the'd just twist the truth all to hell again. Can you say "Latter-Day Aints"
It's not a weapons storage, you poor misguided soul, it's an Archive building
Did someone say "religious cuckoo"?
Funny Video Mark! I would have to agree that Mormons and Jehovah Witness are in a league of there own. Personally I use to be an athirst until God reviled himself to me over six years ago, and now im Christian. Thanks for sharing the Video
God reviled himself? I'm just glad God has a sense of humor LOL! Hey, only teasing ya Tyhill27. And that's the ultimate joke, isn't it? God, an illusion like everything else we humans have created, doesn't exist. At least not in the way the fan clubs tell the story. We need to shake it up once in a while, and humor is the best way to do so. I'm very abrupt with the JWs around here, but some of my friends like to engage these impressionable young men and see if they can wake the guys up. Get them to use their brains a little. Thanx, Mark!
lol
Thanks guys. Humor is the best medicine, and John Saffran is awesome.
Mark- This is the first time I am seeing you in the comments section away from the forums section. It was really funny and I had a similar experience here in US on a weekend woken up in the morning (It's ok not to be a christian hub). Btw on a serious note is their preaching of that sort done (door to door atheist preachers)
Oh yes. They are very serious about spreading their word. And do it door to door and in the street. Scary people....
Check some of my other hubs. Some of them have hundreds of comments.
And the occasional argument lol
Yes I will check out other hubs. But what is so scary of Charles Darwin which we studied in school? I guess one can have the cultural aspects of joy and togetherness in festivals yet have a scientific bent of mind. I feel they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Not going to argue with you :)
But - if you believe the bible as a literal truth, he proved your beliefs are garbage.....
Mark- Whatever Charles Darwin has propounded through scientific evidence evolution does seem more accurate but the cultural aspects of togetherness and joy in celebration of festivals like Christmas also can go hand in hand. That's what I meant earlier.
I agree with you. But Christmas is actually a celebration of the WInter Solstice. It is not a "Christian" holiday. It has been celebrated for many many years....
And if you think the current version of "buy buy buy" is a good celebration?.....
Mark, don't knock it. That's all that's propping the economy up these days!
LOL
More shame us then......
I must admit, I am not a very good consumer.
Mark- Call it what you will but at this time of the year their is joy, music and general good feeling all around. And about giving gifts to each other then I don't say buy buy buy but I say do give gifts since it shows the other person how much we care. I do use some creative hand made gifts that I give to people I am close to.
I am not arguing with that. But there are many who feel the desperate need to buy stuff and cannot afford it. Christmas is the traditional high point of suicides in the western world.
I have no problem with joy and goodwill.
Why can't we do that all year 'round?
That is so sad when people go out of their way in spending way beyond their means. I guess when one gets emotional then it leads to impulsive buying which is tough to control. I personally do have a budget and stick to it no matter how good the deal is.
Can some one run a marathon with the speed of a sprint. It is tough to sustain it throughout the year I guess. My mom always used to say we need different flavors to appreciate the good when we get hence maybe throughout the year is a tough call(enjoy it as long as you get it)..hehe
lol
Too much to ask huh?.......
Well we can certainly try but shouldn't have great expectations...hehe
you say NONSENSE things.. all you do is bubble up... bwhahahaha.. you are a whining pig in the video .... hehehehe
