I wasn't really sure where to start a thread on Mormonism. There may be one already. 
Some Mormons gave me this card advertising a DVD of theirs. Aside from the fact that it is yet another "picture of Jesus" and it's a typical hippy-looking "Jesus", the stance and hand gestures are reminiscent of The Magician tarot card in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Mormonism comes from Freemasonry and Arthur Edward Waite was a Mason. The hand gestures are a magickal representation of "as above, so below".

The Devil card has the devil making a slight variation of the same gesture, but I didn't post it because it has a nude demonic Adam and Eve on it.
