Literally what Mormons believe. If Mormonism didn't already exist, some comedian would create it as a parody
I have a premonition that a socialist America will end up having to fight a fundamentalist Mormon insurgency in the rocky mountains
However things go, Mormons will be the 2nd last to last group standing for sure.
and people think the black israelites are funny (they are) and weird (they aren't). most people are content with the birthplace of monotheism being this magical place that is far away. but one of my favorite things about american culture is that, actually, america is the holy land.
same thing with afrocentrist conspiracy theorists. remember the white dude on the egypt textbook? or the idea that every big building outside of the west that wasn't built by white people was probably built by aliens. or, actually, white people. see: great zimbabwe.
edit: also civic nationalism. i've had people online ask me what was up with latin americans 'worshipping' old presidents like bolivar. motherfucker ever heard of the mt rushmore hajj.
remember the white dude on the egypt textbook?
That's James Pyramid, the inventor of the pyramids.
nothing uniquely american about this shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism

wait so 'british israelism' and mormonism were, like, happening at the same time wth
I have discovered a new type of racism. Obscure, ridiculous, and hopefully with zero followers.
same thing with afrocentrist conspiracy theorists. remember the white dude on the egypt textbook
That specific thing is inaccurate, still funny tho, and their is whiteifacation of the ancient Egyptians elsewhere https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2089719-white-egyptian-american-textbook
While that one instance may be false, I clearly remember my middle school history books as only ever showing pharos as white-passing.
My favorite thing about Mormonism is that Smith was found guiltly of 'glass-looking' to help people find lost treasure.
I've also got a morbid fascination for the Book of Mormon but I'm scared to waste valuable time reading it - like, what if it's a banger?
what if it’s a banger
I can save you some time here, it's not lol.
Jesus is american sweetie his name is Joe Biden (pbuh) who is his reborn avatar.
Wait isn't that just the premise of JoJo part 7? Holy shit
I could see the Great Plains being Edenesque in the early 19th century. From the Rockies it's a sea of grass with perfect soil conditions for agriculture. Farming in the east and south had a lot of obstacles but Missouri must have been beautiful to agrarians before Missourians populated it.
