Just wait until you read about the ancient Egyptian papyri, giving Joseph Smith's wife explicit directions to stop whining about polygamy. <BR/><BR/>And the undergarments.

I think it was Joe Queenan, maybe. He wrote about going to this Mormon museum place where you can go from room to room learning about the history of the religion. It begins with Joseph Smith having visions and being given these golden tablets with the Word of God carved into them.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the tour, he came to this room with the golden tablets. The author was beside himself: God's angel gave Smith golden tablets, and <I>here they were!</I> How is that everyone didn't know about this?<BR/><BR/>Then he was told that Smith had actually sort of lost the original plates, and these were just reproductions of the plates.<BR/><BR/>The author kind of gave up on the Mormons at that point.Chris Rywalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766746064219235983noreply@blogger.com
