A Mormon guy at the diner leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Mormon joke?"
The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am an anti-Mormon. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2 tall, weighs 225, and he's an anti-Mormon. The fella next to him is 6'5 tall, weighs 250, and he's an anti-Mormon. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?"
The first guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it 3 times."
Then saith He to Thomas... be not faithless, but believing. - John 20:27
I kept wondering why anti-mormons would be offended by a Mormon joke? I think it should be reversed.
"You lack vision, but I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night.... Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it'll be beautiful." -- Judge Doom

I suspect the joke was originally a guy in a bar who says "wanna hear a Mormon joke?" The OP tried to reverse the joke and flubbed it.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951
Must be a joke about the 1st vision if it has to be explained three times.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
A Mormon guy at the diner leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear what modern day revelation has taught us about the origins of the human race and various ethnic groups?"
The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am a biologist. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2 tall, weighs 225, and he's an anthropologist. The fella next to him is 6'5 tall, weighs 250, and he's a historian. Now, you still wanna tell us the Mormon teachings about the origins of the human race?"
The first guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to defend it with a bunch of implausible, ad hoc assertions with no relationship to verifiable reality."

A man walks into a bar, sits down, and says to the guy next to him, "Have you heard the one about the guy stuck in quicksand, where, no matter how much he fought the mud with his arms, how loud he cried for help, or how desperately he closed his eyes and told himself it wasn't real, he only sunk himself farther into oblivion?"
The guy sitting next to the man furrowed his brow and slurred, "Before you continue son, you may wish to know that I'm an apologist, former captain of the swim team at Ricks college, and I just got offline from arguing with a critic of the Mormon Church. The guy with the quivering lips sitting next to me is also a mopologist, a lead tenor in the UVU men's choir, and he just got back from performing at the FAIR conference. And the gentleman sitting next to him with the blank stare, he's a lobotomopologist, a psychoanalyst and an expert in postmodernism, and he just got off a plane, having spent the week as an ambassador for the faith at the Yale conference. Now, are you sure you want to continue with this joke?"
The man shrunk back, but the bartender standing in front of him presented an opportunity to recover, "er, just give me whatever these guys are drinking!" He bellowed, "Next round on me, if they can hold any more!"
The bartender leaned toward him and whispered, "They're Mormon, they don't drink."
The man bowed his head and accepted whatever fate would be.
