You gotta watch out for 'em Mormons. They take 10% of everything.
They could easily be like Scientology who has an failed sci-fi writer/author master-manipulator who's entire ideology, scriptural dogma sounds like a badly-written, pulp 1950's novel which itself carries an eerie crossover effect from Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Brave New World. But nowhere near as entertaining, informative, or dystopian. I mean, unlike the Torah and the Bible, not even some of the characters, people, or historical figures and settings mentioned in the Book of Mormon have ever been historically verified or documented or suggests that maybe even some of the events or people described or featured couldve happened or existed.
L. Ron Hubbard actually belonged to some psuedo-satanic, occultic sex Magik cult in Los Angeles in the late 30's and 1940's along with famed but weird pioneering rocket propulsion scientist Jack Parsons who made a fortune designing early-type ICBM's during WWII and was a failed Hollywood screenwriter in the 1930's who tried selling movie scripts with strong socialist and communist themes (Parsons was pretty left-leaning for his days, along with his colleagues). Paramount had a two-season run about Parsons life and work that does feature L. Ron Hubbard in the second season, called Strange Angel. Well, before he accidentally blew himself up in his shed in the late 1940's before moving to Mexico or Isreal reportedly, he lost his wife to Hubbard in that sex Magik cult. That and also Parsons was a notorious nymphomaniac and had a weird interest in the occult that dated back to his childhood.
Scientology, as well as past cults like People's Temple and Heaven's Gate are the proto-typical type casts for what defines a cult except in Scientology's case, its been far more successful, and therefore by extension, more dangerous and nefarious because it made itself so successful and famous due to targeting Hollywood celebrities from the very beginning back in the late 60's like former 49ers Pro Bowl QB John Brodie and famous Irish singer-songwriter, bandleader Van Morrison were early converts (Morrison dedicated a mid-late 70's album to Hubbard).
