On the one hand the Mormonism Apologists claim Smith married other men's wives 'but it is not proven that he had sex with them' ... and they sweep aside as inconvenient the testimonies and historic records which point to the uproar over his having sex with other men's wives. Then, in the next breath, they cite that the patriarchs had multiple wives and wink at the fact that these patriarchs had children with these other wives ... the apologists even stumble around over the truth that throughout Biblical related history (see Abraham and Sarah down in Egypt and Ab telling Sarah to say she is his sister and the king down there expelling him from the land because he nearly cause the king to commit adultery!) taking to wife the wife of another living man IS adultery even without sex because it assaults the vows of the first marriage and is addressed in the Ten Commandments! Vows are sacred, except where their false prophet violates them by his own authority which he claims comes from God ... but of course that would mean God contradicts Himself, which He never does.

We've even seen the Mormonism Apologists try to dissemble the scriptures related to Heaven, the 'no giving in marriage', purposely misstating the Bible teaching that there will be no marriage in Heaven or giving in marriage (which is clearly referring to sex in marriage as confirmed by Paul in his letters and Jesus in Matthew regarding the question of a woman married to several brothers in succession (always after the husband died and she married a surviving brother!).

The Mormonism problem is, when you lie and fabricate 'a truth' not substantiated by God's Word, you have to keep changing your tune to meet the revealed facts and necessity to excuse the flaws of men. To believe their arguments you have to suspend credulity and believe the historic records and sworn testimonies of people who knew Smith intimately are but a pack of lies. Occam's Razor tells me Smith was an adulterer who tried to give himself authority to behave any way he chose, just as he tried to rewrite the King James Bible to include fabricated prophecies of his 'coming in these latter days'!

With every strained argument to defend this Smith, the disgust level rises, not so much at the deluded apologists as at the religion built so precariously on lies and fabrications and false prophecies and fantasy 'translations', all leading men and women into perdition believing they are working their way to God and godhood! And we are supposed to believe a man running for president of this nation who is a priest in that religion is smart enough to be president yet cannot discern the wrongness of Mormonism! Nope, can't vote such a man into nominee status. Wouldn't be prudent and wouldn't be right to promote such an deluded man to rule over US.
