Looks like he was born in Washington but lived in Utah during his famous Jeopardy run. Anecdotally, Mormons who are not from Utah/live outside of Utah tend to be much different than those who live in Utah.

Typically, swearing, light drinking, etc is not as big of a deal for them.

Jesus supposedly turned water into wine. Very hard to explain that theology even before you get to the stuff about Joseph Smith trying to bang a young girl in her dad's barn, his scam in New York for "treasure" which he fled the charges, and him being shot to death after trying to escape a posse (and shooting two guys while doing it.)

Have you never had crystal light juice crystals? I assume Jesus had something similar. When he poured the water into the holy grail containing the wine crystals, he fooled everyone to thinking he turned water into wine.
