Mormonism reveals some of the practice of what christianity tried and failed to do with Judaism. Doesn't matter how big and long a following mormonism and christianity has, they are still shown as very flawed.

Mormonism is to Christianity what Christianity is to Judaism...

... And what Judaism is to earlier religious elements, no longer as easily recognizable today.

I never really paid too much attention to Mormonism, then I read this. Creepy, creepy stuff. It's bizarre to me that Mormons can know the whole story of Joseph Smith looking into his magic hat and speaking to angels, and yet they don't deconvert in droves... I guess it just goes to show that it's hard to go against your upbringing.

As opposed to... ??? LOL Believing a God is First Century Palestinian Jew living in the sky, who loves us but will send us to eternal damnation is we can't figure out the proper dosage of what to observe and what not to observe?

At least Mormon's have them wives and child brides. Well worth the blood libel.

The heck with the magic stuff, they should be deconverting in droves just based on the failed prophecies of Joseph Smith, just like the Seventh Day Adventists or the Jehovah's Witnesses and many others throughout history. Somehow, despite all this people want desperately to belief in something and cling to what they've chosen to believe despite evidence to the contrary, I think because they feel it's just "right in their heart". Explain Jimmy Swaggart still having a congregation otherwise.
