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!

"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.
