I am curious, has anyone ever done a comparison of Mormonism and Islam? To me, it seems that there are many similar details. Both were founded by "Prophets", Joseph Smith and Mohammed, who were visited by "Angels", and given texts that improved on the Bible, "Book of Mormon" and the "Koran".Also, it seems both have a similar view of paradise. Has anyone else made the comparison? Or am I stretching?
Interesting you should mention that. As I was reading this piece myself I was struck by the similarities and parallels. Several years ago I did extensive research on Mormonism and found it to be built on little more than the narcissistic delusions of an over-sexed con man and soothsayer who preyed on the vulnerablities of the weak-minded. Of course the Mormons themselves are forbidden from reading material that would expose the truth about the foundations of their religion. I wonder if the same is true of Islam, which is considerably more oppressive than Mormonism.
