15 Important Life Lessons We Learned From South Park
11. Respect Other Religions No Matter What They Believe...
Given the way the show mocks religion, with Parker and Stone even creating an award-winning musical satirizing faith, youd think that they have no respect for anyone. In fact, they give room for thought for everyone, no matter how ridiculous their context is. See All About Mormons. As Stan learns about the Mormon faith, a recent American religion characterized by clean living, good values, family values and polygamy, were treated to flashbacks to how the Book of Mormon may have been written according to the scripture. Just to ram home the ridiculousness, over the top of the scenes the soundtrack repeats: dum dum dum dum dum. If that isnt mocking the convenient and contrived way the religion was formed (as its made clear Parker and Stone think Mormonism was made up on the spot) then we dont know what its saying. However, despite the religions formation occurring under such suspicious circumstances, theres nothing wrong with the way the people are living. If youre a good person, it shouldnt matter where your faith is placed.
