* {{Tearjerker}}: The final chapter, when Moroni is the LastOfHisKind. All the time he is writing, he is completely alone, his father has been killed, and he's doing all he can do to finish his work while on the run. He knows full well that God will quit protecting him after he finishes, and he [[DeathSeeker wants it to be this way, as he has nothing else to live for]]. The last verse is him saying goodbye to the reader and hoping to see them in the afterlife.

* FanFic: If the Book of Mormon is viewed as a fictional document, then it more or less fits the definition of fan fic (a supplemental story written by a fan(atic), using pre-established characters and story arcs). It could also be viewed as a kind of [[ExpandedUniverse expanded universe]] or [[FanWank fan wank]]… YourMileageMayVary, depending on your personal convictions. And of course, there is [[FanFic fan fiction]] based off the Book of Mormon. As is usual, it ranges wildly in tone and value.

BLAM isn\'t just anything confusing or weird. It\'s for things that are confusing and weird AND don\'t make sense in the context of the plot. The Spooky Hell Dream Sequence is a major plot point and characterization moment for Elder Price. It is not a BLAM.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Though arguably foreshadowed by a scene does reference to the "Hell Dreams" the missionaries experienced, "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", full stop.

Africans do actually believe it, but calling Too Dumb To Live brings up a whole boatload of Unfortunate Implications


* CrossesTheLineTwice: When "Hasa Diga Eebowai" isn't being terrifying (see below,) it does this.
* FridgeHorror: During "Hasa Diga Eebowai", Mafala mentions that Mutumbo tried to rape a baby because some people in his tribe believe that they can cure AIDS by sleeping with [[VirginPower a virgin]]. Because there aren't many virgins left, some are resorting to [[DeadBabyComedy raping babies]]. Now, let's move away from darkly amusing superstition and into cold, hard fact: AIDS cannot be cured by sleeping with anyone, virgins or not. In fact, because AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease, sleeping with a virgin is likely to give the virgin AIDS. In other words... if Africans really believe that, [[TooDumbToLive it's no wonder AIDS is rapidly ravaging the continent]].
