so? he should renounce that cult. he does not follow Jesus. whatever Joe Smith was looking for down that well, it certainly was not Jesus.
And yet Mary seems to pop up just about everywhere according to Catholics.
so you compare the mother of Jesus who gave birth despite being a virgin, to some convicted felon pedophile looking down a well with magical glasses?
No, I am comparing the observational powers of Joseph Smith to that of the random peasants who claim to see Mary. Both of them must be more reliable than you. Where was Joseph Smith convicted of pedophilia?
marrying several young pre-pubescent girls = pedophile. The observational powers of Joe Smith were contrived entirely for the women and the chicks. Don't think Jesus was in it for the money and the chicks, sorry.
I thought I would look that up. It turns out that none of the wives was prepubescent. I think there were two fourteen year olds, but that's the same age Mary was when she conceived according to the nuns who taught me in Catholic school and the same thing appears in the Catholic Encyclopedia.
And you do realize that Joseph Smith does not think he is God? You keep trying to draw comparisons between God and Joseph Smith but he believed in Jesus, too. He did not call himself God.
dipshit, in that time period, 14 was pre-pubescent. how can anyone defend that slimeball fake pervert?
Prepubescent is a biological term, so don't call me dipshit. You chose the word, and so you should know its definition. Moreover, I am not sure how a time period has anything to do with the morality. It seems to me that it is either equally right or equally wrong for a girl whenever she had the luck to be born, just as one doesn't consider slavery to be "right" in one time period and "wrong" in another.
I don't want to be Joseph Smith's defender, but you are taking cheap shots at Mormonism, and clearly they are contradicted by your own bible. If I applied your logic to Christianity, John the Baptist was an obvious lunatic, Jesus was a convicted felon, and God impregnated a fourteen year old, who never died but was slowly drawn up by a tractor beam into the clouds, from which she periodically descends in order to provide peasant girls with dire warnings about communism. The only reason this sounds acceptable is that you were born into the Christian faith.
