If something is secret it does not mean that it needs to be mocked. If Mormons want this to be sacred and secret, then let them. Why mock them? Why harm them? All faiths are touches of strangeness to them. All faiths. But so far, no one is mocking the jews in the video for rocking back and forth or for wearing what they are wearing? Why?
But only for Mormons can they be mocked for their 'magic underwear'.
Yeah, the Jews have weird prayers, clothing, and customs too. So do Muslims. So do Catholics. So do any number of other religions.
But the fact is, most of us here have some connection to Mormonism, and since the board is called "Mormon Discussions," that is the religion we will discuss. Don't be naïve enough to let that feed into your persecution complex, however. If you want indiscriminate mockery of religion in general, go to some atheist or secular humanist board.

What they are wearing is couture compared to a baker's hat, and a fig leaf apron.
I would love for Joan Rivers and the rest on Fashion Police to get ahold of this stuff.

There's always the atheism sub-reddit. Why me, I suggest you check it out.
Why aren't the Jews required to commit hari Kari if they let slip the secrets of the rituals?
I can't tell, but are the Jews doing special handshakes that please God?
Why aren't the Jewish women required to cover their faces when the men pray?

Because synagogue worship is not secret.

Nope. But they would if they thought he wanted them too.
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Religion has no place in my home.
My children and I mock all religious belief. It is unfortunate that we know more about the LDS cult than the others, well unfortunate for Mormon sheep who dare ask why any of us no longer attend. Such an easy trap to set!
It is fun to watch my own children tease their xtian friends about how they believe in god but not Santa Claus. My oldest son told his friend that the only reason why children believe in god is because their parents never told them it is a hoax.
So proud of my atheist children!
