"The Mormon church has admitted that founder Joseph Smith married about 40 women " We don't have a "Jewish church" to admit anything, but the guy who built the most holy Solomon's Temple had 700 wives. Smith is a piker. Oh, Sol also had 300 concubines on the side. I'm not sure any Jews have a problem with that today.

Smith was simply a master charlatan who had the good sense to realize that religion was a gravy train if properly cooked up, polished with some really good hocus-pocus (his specialty) and made to look easy, with some good perks like unlimited wives (his other specialty).. What is amazing is how many folks continue to swallow his bullshit, but then again, they aren't that much different than the cloud jockey peddlers from Rome to Mecca...(and Jeruselum) What's science?
