No more ridiculous than any other religion book.

Come on. They have a religious figure called Moroni.

And Smith said that the golden thingies he translated magically vanished.

He didn't even try!

okay, and in the Bible some dude trades his wife for hundreds of other dude's dick skin, and there is a donkey that talks to its owner. And.. oh yeah- virgin birth and flying bodily to heaven. The only reason we think it silly is because Mormonism is a young, American religion and we understand how things work now. (As in, it is not storming because god is mad at us. It is storming and we know why it storms and we don't have to be afraid. In the light of these things, Mormonism looks sillier.) Don't worry, all the same crazy and misogyny is still there, for that old-timey good religion feeling.

That's how one of my friends first reacted to it. Now she's a firm believer.

As if "Mormonism" didn't say it quite clearly enough yet,

This guy was a master toll. L Ron Hubbard follows in his footsteps.

And it came to pass that you didn't buy it. Yea, not one word.
