Why read the book of mormon when you can watch a funny south park episode for free about it?
All about the Mormons
...in the episode it tells you about how the book of mormon was written, it sounds almost as stupid as scientology. It was written by a guy named, Joseph Smith who claimed to have been visited by god, and a native american angel who claimed all native americans used to be white and came from Jeruselum. The angel also said Jesus used to live in Missouri. Then, the angel told him to search for an ancient text written on these gold tablets in ancient indian which were the supposed lost texts of Jesus. He had to translate them using these seer stones. Not to mention, he never showed the texts or the stones to anyone because the 'angel' told him not to, and people just believed what he wrote. hehe.
The best part is, the person who was supposed to be writing down what Joseph Smith saw glowing off of the tablets hiding them in a hat, went home and told his wife about Joseph Smith who told her husband to hide the first writings of it to see if Joseph could then recite the same words exactly again. If he could then obviously he did indeed have these purported gold tablets. HOWEVER, when Joseph Smith was approached with the news that the first writings were misplaced he went off and prayed and said God came to him and told him that since he lost them he would punish Joseph by having him recite that part of the book off of another tablet which would be worded differently, and again, everyone just took his word for it. hehe
Sounds like a cool religion, eh?! LOLZ...only in the midwest of america could such blatant ignorance and stupidity be born.
