Until that general confusion is resolved, the so called Christian Church does not have a leg to stand on.

 
 
"Joseph looked into the hat in which he placed the stone, and received a revelation that some of the brethren should go to Toronto, Canada, and that they would sell the copyright of the Book of Mormon.
 
 Hiram Page and Oliver Cowdery went to Toronto on this mission, but they failed entirely to sell the copyright, returning without any money.
 
Joseph was at my father's house when they returned.
 
 I was there also, and am an eye witness to these facts.
 
Jacob Whitmer and John Whitmer were also present when Hiram Page and Oliver Cowdery returned from Canada.
 
Well, we were all in great trouble; and we asked Joseph how it was that he had received a revelation from the Lord for some brethren to go to Toronto and sell the copyright, and the brethren had utterly failed in their undertaking.
 
Joseph did not know how it was, so he enquired of the Lord about it, and behold the following revelation came through the stone:   'Some revelations are of God: some revelations are of men: and some revelations are of the devil.'
 
So we see that the revelation to go to Toronto and sell the copyright was not of God, but was of the devil or of the heart of man."
 
--David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers in Christ, in EMD 5: 198.

When you allow yourself to veer off reality who knows were you will end up. You weren’t there and neither was I. Stories made up by those who think religion is a game can steer the gullible off the straight and narrow path and certainly aren’t productive.
