What's new
By:

Joseph Smith taught that the moon was inhabited by people that live to be 1000 years old?

Have we fully explored the moon? Have we drilled into its core? Even in the earth's core you might discover dinosaurs and other exotic life. Ever read a certain Jules Verne novel?

If Obama could cover up a "Libya controversy" why can't there still be people living on the moon?

It could happen!

Finally.. a voice of reason here.
 
You guys also know that Smith himself claimed that Jesus came to the American continent, that Peter, James and John gave him the priesthood, that he translated a historic gospel record that spanned over thousands of years, oh.....and God and Christ spoke to him when he was 14 years old telling him that no church was the real gospel on earth..


Smith's own claims are magnificent enough, kind of dumb to freak out about something some guy said 40 years after the fact that was from a second source.

Really? There were no missionaries, they just left books lying around all over?

It was Smith's charisma that converted those initial missionaries.

Nope you are incorrect, read Rough Stone Rolling. Yes people thought highly of Joseph but most all conversion and the reasoning for the church growing so fast at first was people's obsession and curiously about the Book of Mormon. The enthusiasm was about the book not so much Joseph himself.

When you say "nope", have the courtesy to say something that is in opposition to my statement, please.
