I don't know whether Joseph Smith was a good conman or a bad one.

He was a very daring man. He got in at just the right time with a shitty con and made it work.

The sheer gonads on such a man have got to be acknowledged, even if it did eventually get him killed. Then again, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the charming snake oil salesman in stuff about the Frontier.

Whoever wrote the Bible was a great conman, to have his(their) sham be believed thousands of years later? In a time where we should know better? Amazing.

It's funny because God dictated in King James Bible style to Joseph Smith with lots of "yeas", "thees" and "thous" when that was archaic speech in Smith's time.

"I'm going to speak in the manner that old translators of the Bible from a bygone era spoke instead of contemporary English or Ancient Greek or Latin or Aramaic because you all like the King James Bible and thees and thous sound holy!!!" t. God

- Mormons were Nazi sympathizers.
- The feeling is mutual; Hitler liked them.
- Makes white people breed. Mormon families are large.

the only reason why it got him killed was because he kept trying to fuck his follower's wifes

You did the exact same thing when you called the 'author' of the Bible a conman with no other point

worse than that. He turned Nauvoo into a little theocracy that took over local government so the non-Mormons hated them. They even had their own army called the Nauvoo Legion, and plus Smith and co. opened a bank, took a lot of LDS money and then couldn't run it so it collapsed.

>> No.7028633

What is even the plot of this book? I can't get past Nephi 1
