We can, however, go back and forth about Joseph Smith's arrest and death......forever....

The debate has to end at some point.

What I would really like to know is what you think about this? I have explained its origins on this thread, so there is no mystery about why I bring it up.

Why is the Inverted Pentagram on a Mormon Temple?

Are you going to try and feed me the LDS propaganda that the Pentagram (which is even recognized by the FBI as a Satanic Symbol in their criminal investigations) is simply misunderstood like this ridiculous posting?

“Why is the Inverted Pentagram on a Mormon Temple?” ... Because it was a Masonic image that the early founder didn’t comprehend?

Why are you going from a lynch mob to a pentagram? Talk about flipping around. Lets get back to the protestant lynch mob. Is that your favored method of trial and conviction? Isn’t that what you are saying?

“It may be admitted that some of [Smith’s ancestors] believed in fortune telling, in warlocks and witches... Indeed it is scarcely conceivable how one could live in New England in those years and not have shared in such beliefs. To be credulous in such things was to be normal people.”
- LDS Historian B.H. Roberts, A Comprehensive History of the Church, 6 vols., 1930, v. 1, pp. 26-27

“Many of the earliest Mormons, including [Oliver] Cowdery, Martin Harris, Orrin P. Rockwell, Joseph Knight and Josiah Stowel, were rodsmen or money diggers but became Mormons for religious reasons.”
- Marvin S. Hill, LDS historian, “Secular or Sectarian History: A Critique of No Man Knows My History,” Church History, v. 43, p. 86, March 1974
