One of my late older sisters converted to Mormonism over thirty years ago. She revered Joseph Smith like a second coming. In those days the Mormon church didn't like to advertise the disgusting, rampant, polygamy of the elders. Or how young men were driven off so more women were available for the elders. I don't understand how this group of oversexed holy rollers was allowed to thrive.
Mormonism is the only religion Americans can say was started by an American, it deserves a place in America much more than the religion they borrowed which was started by a small Jewish sectarian group of Hellenic Christian Jews known as Judaea Christians.
