When one reads Book of Mormon now , nothing can be clearer that this is anything more than some young man of that 1820's revivalist era simply paraphrasing the earlier Biblical text in some semi literate cartoonish prose of a charmed 18th century kid in rural "god fearin" USA . He is visited by an Angel named after a pirate city in Madagascar , has these magic "seeing stones" that lead him to treasure & by burying his head in his hat with the seeing-stones , the Book of Mormon is revealed to him ... he is arrested & jailed at one point for using these seeing stones to find treasure , just as he's caught plagiarizing the King James Bible .

The outlandish notions , dreamed up names & off shoot stories of this imagined history , just like the similar old Testament ramblings are too numerous to mention nor is it worth the time but one of these Smith taught was the Native Americans were a lost tribe of Israel .

Note: Founder Joseph Smith later led his group of Mormons to settle in Illinois swamps where they pretty much ran things with a large vigilante force but when some who defected from his preaching and started a local Newspaper criticising him , especially for trying to seduce other men's wives & having several wives of his own . Smith quickly got his people together to vote the printing press be destroyed ,this later led to his arrest by outside authorities & later he was killed in jail by an angry mob .

You have to watch this video terriby funny how easily disproved such idiotic made up "revelations" above which were taken as truth just 2 centuries ago , that blackmen could not enter heaven unless slaves , which Planet God lives on & how the men get their own planets after they die .
