I just can’t believe that anyone with a half a brain could even go to this cult-church. Between John Smith’s 43 wives, the planet Kolob, 10 ft. giants on the other side of the moon, his horrible monetary crimes here in Northern Ohio, looking into his hat covering his face for bible quotes and magic stones, golden tablets that can’t be found, etc.
Bizarre that anyone even walks into those “shrines”. Do any of them do even the slightest research on this guy’s background?
No, nobody does research such as you describe. They accept everything about him and the religion based on faith.
Every religion sounds strange when you first hear it. The only thing that makes some more palatable is time and repetition.
