ah well....What?
mormonISM is a fraud, started by a fraud.
It is so sad that many are deluded.
The pull of godhood is strong.
just some old odds and ends I saved years ago while we are waiting for Resty ...
Here’s another that a Flying Inman said more than 3 years ago...
Now, if Jesus Christ were among us today and had $4+ billion, would he spend it to become even richer, or reduce suffering? After all, nearly 17,000 children starve to death each day and about 2 billion people live on less than $2/day.
Christians would say, “Golly! Jesus would spend the cash on reducing suffering!”
Latter-day Saints (Mormons) would say, “Well, spending huge amounts of money on commercial real estate projects that benefit the church IS the plan of the Lord!”
Since LDS claim that they are Christians, why do they need D&C 22 ???
1 Behold, I say unto you that all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant, even that which was from the beginning.
>2 Wherefore, although a man should be baptized an hundred times it availeth him nothing, for you cannot enter in at the strait gate by the law of Moses, neither by your dead works.
3 For it is because of your dead works that I have caused this last covenant and this church to be built up unto me, even as in days of old.
4 Wherefore, enter ye in at the gate, as I have commanded, and seek not to counsel your God. Amen.

“If Joseph Smith were alive today, what would he do for a living?
Would he still be a religious huckster?
Would he run internet scams?
Would he send e-mails as a mock Nigerian “prince”?
Or would he be a more eleveated but still-dishonest Wall Street type?”
