In my ex-mo years I have come to speculate that ol' horny Joe was probably using the "flaming Sword" as a phallic symbol to describe himself. Joe is the angel with the flaming sword - and he knows it. I can imagine he and Hyrum laughing their scrawny asses in the back room of the Hotel Nauvoo, "Hyrum, Hyrum...lol..I told those gals that an angel with a flaming sword would do me in if they didn't screw me...AND THEY BOUGHT IT. I am such a genius."
Reading about Joseph Smith's Rape Angel is what got me looking at the faith in a more discerning light. It's there in the church essay about Smith's polygamy, but no context is given for it. I had to find out the Rape Angel was used in proposing for myself.
I've never actually met anyone who believes that an angel would have killed Smith for not marrying certain girls, though. People I talk to just shrug and say no one is perfect. Absolute power corrupts absolutely or whatever. How the idea of Smith using his position to coerce women doesn't bother them more is beyond me.

WOW, its almost like you are saying that there should have been outrage against LYING CHEATING PREDATORY RABIDLY RACIST RAPING MORmON cult criminal enterprise even before this latest deal where they decided to pick on the children of gay couples.
The Rape Angel and The Polygamy Mandating Lower Head Lord MORmON Jesus, there is a dynamic duo for you !!!
Imagine if they had the vaginas to suggest that an angel with a flaming sword would visit them, if they didn't pay a full tithe, do their home teaching, or any other important commandment?
Just how horny do you have to be to trigger the 'Angel as your Wingman' resource?
If a hostile angle with a FLAMING SWORD was threatening MY destruction, I'd be pounding as many poons as I possibly could. And not just 33 poons or whatever Joe accomplished.. we're talking Wilt Chamberlain numbers. Gene Simmons, Ron Jeremy. 10,000+ POONS.
