Was that a mormon Joke?

[rocketscientist]

I can say with 100% certainty that the joke only works on one level. LDS was just Kirk screwing up LSD. The entire movie ran on gags about how out of place the crew was in that era.

Yeah, I think you're right.

If it had been intended to work on that higher level, they would've had some follow through, with Gillian saying something like, "He's a Mormon?!!??!? I thought he was a Hari Krishna!"

It had just one intented meaning, LSD screw up. Thanks to this thread the clear comedic meaning of the line will forever be tainted. The answer to the OP is No, it was not a mormon joke.

This is a thread that shows how the writers intended one thing and the people understand another... ^^
