Delusional.
And that painting. Like...what the hell? And the name of the organisation?!
This looks like something South Park or Family Guy would make up, doesn't it?
offensive painting
That's in the finest tradition of tone-deaf, clueless whitewashing Mormon painters, including their own mythology.
Those are something else.
I mean, Kenobi Space Jesus has a pretty direct antecedent in Mormon art. They took the Medieval and Renaissance European tradition of making literally everybody white and brought it deep into the twentieth and even twenty-first centuries.
Not a believer in any sense, but I would follow Kenobi and put his portait on my wall. No doubt about it.
