the South Park episode about Joseph Smith and the Mormons is horrifyingly accurate.
including the ending where the mormon kid lets everyone know how crazy it is for them to look down on his religion, because to him it's just a family bond and it keeps him out of trouble.
for real though, how can you buy into the Joe Smith story?

I have actually seen the episode. It is accurate to a point, but it
is told from a view point in opposition of the faith it mocks. Painted
in the light they wish to cast it in it does not appear favorable.
But I beg to differ with the spirit and tone of their presentation.
From your avatar picture you seem to be an adult.
Do you really base your opinion and knowledge about events and someone's faith from what you saw in animated show?
I will be honest.
I actually enjoy some South Park episodes but they the writers don't
seem to hold much if anything to be sacred or true.
They instead seem to wish to mock and make fun of everyone and
perhaps undermine what other people think or cherish.
I am violating some of my own personal code of conduct and posting
about my own beliefs and faith on a forum full of people I have never
and most likely never will meet, but sometimes I feel I must speak up.
The story of Joseph Smith goes far beyond the meger confines of
South Park and/or any other anti-Mormon creation (not really saying
South Park is anti)
I believe his story is misrepresented and I believe that Joseph Smith
was and is a prophet of God.
Call me what you wish and denounce anything you wish.
My faith remains the same and as strong as ever.
