That only explains why Tolkien is a much better read. Natural story tellers are fantastic at making stories up as they go- I've met some that could probably make up the most of the BOM in a single night if you plyed them with enough food and booze. They'd end the night with a great laugh at the folks who belived them.

The BOM is mostly just a poor imitation of the KJV- with some parts lifted word for word- revised to takeout the inconsistencies over the years. Smith even went so far as to rewrite parts of the Bible to prop up his stories. I found it depressing that people would take this seriously as God's word.

Your post is not clear on this, have you read it?

If you did, did you pray about it?
