Memorable Quote 1:
Sister Patience: "Hey Jones, say 'lasciviousness' 5 times really fast."
Brother Jones: "Fuck you Patience."
Memorable Quote 2:
Sister Gigi (paraphrasing a part of Jacob 4:10): "Seek not to counsel the Lord, bitch!"
Highlights:
The team learn what "lasciviousness" means, sort of.
Sister Gigi talks about Mormons preserving food; specifically beans, and even tuna!
Brad Sounds return!
Satan with 3 mouths!
"God the Dick". A play in too many parts.
Stoney Baloney
If you want to see how the meaning of
"stone that the builders rejected" has evolved
over time, here's a journey!
In Psalms 118:22, the "stone" is the Jewish
people, despised as worthless by their neighbours.
God surprised all by using these discarded
building materials to defeat their enemies, and make their nation
great again. Such a political message. Which is unsurprising.
In Matthew 21:42, Jesus is trying to outwit some
Jewish scholars who didn't like him. He mixes this
quote from Psalms, with a silly parable of his own.
The "stone" is the title/blessings/birthright of being
"God's people". He's saying it will be given to
others more worthy than these scholars. Oooh scathing!
In Jacob 4:16-17, Smitty is saying the "stone" is
Jesus. A foundation to build a righteous people.
The "rejected" part was a reference to the unwelcome
reception Jesus faced from the Jewish
establishment in the New Testament.
This meaning Jesus never used; neither did the psalmist!
At this stage of the Book of Mormon story, Jesus'
birth is still 500 years in the future, and
these words were supposedly written by a Jew familiar
with just the Psalm.
So how any of it could make any "plain" simple
sense is rediculous.
Smitty betrays himself by including this
common Christian rhetoric/misinterpretation
in his boring story.
