Jacob Hansen, welcome to the show.

Hi, Alex. Thanks for having me.

Are Mormons Christian?

Yes, but it's going to depend on your definition of Christian.

So that's a whole long topic to get into.

But as a preface, I thought that most people here probably don't,

well, they probably have two characteristics.

One is they're probably going Alex Mormonism, like, really?

You know, a lot of people think of us kind of as a joke.

But I also think that if people were pressed, those same people, that they probably would admit that they don't know that much about us, just kind of what they've heard online.

They saw the Book of Mormon musical and heard their pastor say that we all get to own our own planets.

And, you know, that's kind of as far as a lot of people go with it.

Yeah, that's when I started getting interested when I heard about the planet.

That sounded pretty good to me.

It's a very materialistic kind of religion, which is, you know, great for a materialist.

I think, yeah, obviously, Mormonism is one of the most mocked religions in the world.

And the thing that's been interesting to me is that, I mean, we met on the Jubilee

25 surrounded thing.

And I remember at the end I had to choose somebody to speak to.

And I was like, I'll speak to this guy.

He seemed like he knew what he was talking about.

And you said you were an LDS member.
