The Pious Atheist

Yesterday the commander talked to a good friend. They discussed the silly nonsense in the Bismarck Tribune about "The Letter from Hell". Our friend described himself as a pious atheist. We both loved the description. Doing my morning homework it occurs to me the Republicans may have painted themselves into a corner by pandering to the religious right. With Mitt and Huckabee trying to out Jesus each other people are bound to see how silly this stuff is, I hope. One of Mitt's biggest problems is that people may wake up and actually read something about the Mormon Church. If you want a good book, and a real eye opener read "Under The Banner of Heaven" by John Krakaur. Mormonism is a well documented fraud, and the book makes it clear. One of the best parts of the book describes how the Mormons almost castrated their founder because he wanted to promote polygamy. Joseph Smiths own wife thought he was a fraud. The story about how Joseph made up the book of Mormon is hilarious. Joseph put up a blanket in the kitchen to shield his neighbor from seeing him as he translated the tablets. His wife got pissed with the nonsense, and burnt up the transcription the neighbor was taking. Joseph got mad at his wife and she said "It should be no problem, you have the tablets, and all you have to do it read them again". They both knew he was just making it up and the second try would not be the same as the first. Another historical account in the book covers the massacre of people on a wagon train by the Mormons. The Mormons tried to blame it on the Indians, and when that didn't work they got Lee to be the fall guy. Lee led the massacre at the direction of Joseph Smith. Lee was told by the church to hide a Lee's ferry. Named after him. The Kadizzles have camped there. Lee got caught and executed, and the Mormons did nothing to save him. The Mormons killed everyone on the wagon train over the age of twelve. Of course this was God's plan. This is not something Lord Kadizzle is making up. Go to the Library and you will find every bit of it documented.
