"That the chosen name for that visiting mormon angel would be called "Moroni" by Joseph Smith seems almost fitting with the root word obvious . 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 ." Yep. And we note how there is always some advantage attaching to the enlightened ones whether it be food that Yahweh did not care to smell so that it goes to any old Aaron and his family....or whether it be sexual favors or the rights to exercise power over others and to control their behaviour to your advantage (I will take that money, thanks...God's work must be done. And...oh...I will just share your wife with God, too?!)

LOL! And it started with Captain Kidd!! Some scholars have theorized that Smith became familiar with the name "Moroni" through his study of the treasure-hunting stories of Captain William Kidd. [6] Because Kidd was said to have buried treasure in the Comoros islands, and Moroni is the name of the capital city and largest settlement in the Comoros, it has been suggested that Smith borrowed the name of the settlement and applied it to the angel who led him to buried treasure—the golden plates. Complementing this proposal is the theory that Smith borrowed the names of the Comoros islands and applied them to the hill where he found the golden plates, which he named Cumorah. [7] Latter-day Saint apologists have reasoned that this line of argument commits the logical error of appeal to probability; they also point out that it is unlikely that Smith had access to material which would have referred to the then-small settlement of Moroni.
