Mormons would go on to become a major sect of Christianity in the USA, primarily in the American West, after their ‘prophet’ was driven out of many areas of eastern and midwestern America. They remain prominent to this day.
Even more embarrassing is the “Pearl of Great Price,” which the mormons accept as a book of scripture the same as the bible or book of mormon. Joesph Smith raised a mess of money to buy four scrolls from egyptian mummies, and claimed they had previously unknown accounts from Abraham and Moses. But… we have the scrolls still and we can read them now, and they just don’t say any of all that.
Explanation: The Mormons believe some pretty odd things, even by religious standards, about the foundation of their faith in the 19th century by a known huckster and charlatan. Referenced in the meme is the idea that the founder, Joseph Smith, found golden plates of the Angel Moroni written in Egyptian, and translated them to a secretary from behind a curtain, permitting only a select few to ‘see’ the tablets before they conveniently disappeared, returned to Moroni’s divine hands.
