Edited sentence: If this is true, the show consistently suggests Mormonism is false, and the selection of Mormonism of all religions being the true faith only goes to further mock the idea of one true religion.More likely, the fact that Mormonism was the one, correct religion was intended to mock the idea of one religion being "right" and everything else being wrong.Normally in an episode of South Park, Stan and/or Kyle learn a lesson which is hinted at throughout the show, and explicitly stated by them at the end (for example, The Biggest Douche In The Universe).See also Orgazmo, Probably, for more on Matt and Trey's ideas about Mormonism.Several conjectures can be made as to why Matt and Trey claimed this; most likely, it is a mixture of Mormons' renowned kindness and family values, mixed in with the fact that to an outsider of the religion, Mormonism is usually not understood and yet, assumed to be insane.The moral of the story, interestingly, seems to say that a religion doesn't necessarily need to be factually true if it supports good morals, and specifically says that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has warped and impossible ideas.The show's ending is rare for South Park in that the main character's opinion is wrong.This episode also fails to explain that Martin Harris did indeed see the plates along with David Whitmer and Oliver Cowdry, who all later broke ties with the church yet claimed to have seen the golden plates and the angel Moroni.This episode builds up the "lesson" that Mormon beliefs are ridiculous, but when Stan states this message and rejects Gary's friendship he is told that he has "a lot of growing up to do" if he judges people by their religion.This seems to go directly against other South Park episodes, such as Probably, where the Mormons are identified as the only religion that will get into Heaven
