How many offshoot LDS churches are there? Are there non-orthodox Mormons?

There's a liberal branch called the Community of Christ. They split from the main church in the late 19th century, called themselves the "Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" but then changed their name around the 90s or so. They never practiced polygamy, have never excluded blacks from priesthood, ordain women and allow gay members.

It's OK to make fun of religions because unlike race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. it's a self-chosen characteristic. It's like making fun of political parties.

And if you think making fun of Judaism and Islam is off limits go watch Family Guy.

And if I said some things from Family Guy in real life, even as a joke, I’d be ridiculed.

That's because Family Guy is a dogsh**t show, not because of the subject of the jokes.

And not mutually exclusive. Both of these can be true, and they are.

If by "dogsh**t show" you mean "best TV show ever made", yes.

Wow. The Methodists are the only denomination I know of with a lesbian bishop, by the way...
