That episode kicked ass. Mainly because I have to deal with Mormons on a daily basis (for the love of Crap, I live with one) and I've been waiting for Trey and Matt to tackle mo-mos for years...well...aside from Orgazmo.
But, to answer your question, no, that song of your sucks ass. Trey Parker wrote a humorous song that poked fun at the Mormon religion and exposed the inaccuracies and "plot holes" that their system of faith is based on. Your song is a spiteful and unnecessarily mean-spirited attempt to completely obliterate their religion as a whole.
Trey Parker took the correct path because, while he showed the world how ludicrous and inane the Mormon "history" is, he at the same time pointed out that there is more to it than just historical goof-ups. He made a point of letting the viewer see that although the Book of Mormon is ridiculous, the lessons that the religion teaches aren't. Mormons practice a doctrine of love, compassion, family values and overall togetherness. You have to admire that at the very least.
Yes, the Book of Mormon is ridiculous. Yes, Mormons themselves can be aggrivatingly nice and can become an annoyance at the drop of a hat. But, to decry their religion as being a "heresy" is just unnecessary. Annoying or not, sickeningly sweet or not, they deserve respect for being the only religious denomination in existence that will never go to war with another demonination because of the differences in their beliefs. People in general owe them that much.
