[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can verify that Joseph Smith was a real person.

Don’t even need “faith” to believe that. [/quote]

Good point.  Smith came along in the 19th century in the US when we have written records and photography.  He is definitely real.

Still, many non-mormons think their beliefs are crazy (different layers of heaven, etc) [b]and would never die for them[/b], though many Mormons have died or killed for their faith.

Weren’t those their own beliefs? They were Christians…

Religion was very different 1000 years ago. No, the crusades were not because of religious conviction. People were more pagan with political power held by Rome, Vatican
It had very little to do with religion[/quote]

People are only willing to die for so many reasons: 
- they are forced 
- they are paid 
- they are fanatics and support their leader/cause

No non-Mormons died for Mormonism because no one forced or paid them.
