And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning

The funny thing is that the first couple of times I went through a filmed session, I kept thinking, I know that guy from somewhere, but he's buried under a huge wig and beard. And then I almost shouted out in the temple, "Oh my gosh! It's Gordon Jump from WKRP!" I always liked that grinning, leering Satan with the 'fro they had in that version. He was great.

Spencer Palmer, who play the minister in that version, was a BYU religion prof. I took his class once -- he came across as rather odd. A later version of the movie had Stewart Petersen as one of the apostles (he was the kid who played Joseph Smith in the original "First Vision" movie, and was also in several Hollywood pictures as a young man, so he was a minor LDS celebrity and easy to recognize). Of course, there was Michael Ballam as Satan in a later version -- he was so into it that at one point he almost started singing opera when throwing out an ominous threat.
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)
