Intro:
Join Moroni, Abigail, Abish, and aaaAAAaaa in a world where folding clothes and cardboard cutouts of Legolas are the order of the day. After a riveting conversation about organization, our hosts dive into the meat of things, covering 3 Nephi chapters 6-10 of the Book of Mormon. But not before unveiling their pièce de résistance, "The Screaming Jesus" cocktail.
Scriptures [00:10:08]:
Our resident scriptorian, aaaAAAaaa, takes us on a whirlwind tour of 3 Nephi chapters 6-10. Brace yourselves for a natural disaster, Jesus-style. Amidst the chaos and upheaval, we dissect the Book of Mormon with all the seriousness it deserves. Or perhaps, just a tad more skepticism and humor than the scriptures typically receive.
Teachings [00:40:29]:
Abish leads a lively discussion on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' stance on Halloween. Spoiler alert: there's no official word on whether you can dress up as Moroni, but there's a handbook section about avoiding occult activities. Prepare for insights from Church leaders like Boyd K. Packer and James E. Faust, who share their wisdom on steering clear of the spooky stuff. Our hosts also explore the fascinating double standards when it comes to men and women and delve into the intricacies of avoiding the appearance of evil.
History [00:57:10]:
Abigail takes us on a wild ride through the theory that Jesus is actually Quetzalcoatl in the Mormon religion. Cue the jokes about pronunciation troubles with Aztec names and the burning question of why he wasn't just called Christ if he was, in fact, Christ. We delve into the mystical "Mormon Doctrine" by Bruce R. McConkie and the mind-boggling connection between Quetzalcoatl and various animals. Ever heard of a god associated with resplendent quetzals, rattlesnakes, and ducks? Well, now you have.
Hold on to your hats as Abigail unravels Quetzalcoatl's fascinating birth stories, including the one where he's born by swallowing an emerald. What follows is a hilarious journey into the misinterpretations of Aztec beliefs by white people, Cortez's alleged identity as Quetzalcoatl, and the notion that Franciscan monks had it all figured out. As for "Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites" by Chris Heimerdinger, let's just say it's a tennis-tinged romp through time. And no, there are no actual tennis shoes involved. Get ready for absurdity, bizarre elements, and a liberal dose of side-splitting humor.
