Golly how Joseph Smith gets painted by the anti-Mormons as being some sort of scam artist. They tend to do this because he was into treasure hunting, telling of all sorts of tall tales in the 1820s, being really super friendly and loving with the family maid Fanny Alger, and forgetting to tell his wife about all the blessings she got to have in having sister wives. Every time I talk to a literal descendant of Father Lehi I'm reminded of how glorious this message is and its my fervent hope that said descendants, who are exceedingly numerous unless the Church were actually a fraud, will come to this message board to rebuke the anti-Mormons.
Why Joseph Smith got obsessed with plural marriage (and thus being able to have sex with lots of women) was because of that angel who appeared to him. About Joseph Smith we sing "Praise to the Man". About that angel its obvious that he was obsessed with murder and sex, but its not like it was Heavenly Father getting all murderous and sexual, as this was just a lowly omniscient & resurrected, but obvious having a fetish of sorts, angel of the Lord, who forced Joseph to have to become a sex maniac chasing after lots of women so that Joseph could escape the destruction by that drawn sword of the carnal-minded angel.
"Joseph told associates that an angel appeared to him three times between 1834 and 1842 and commanded him to proceed with plural marriage when he hesitated to move forward. During the third and final appearance, the angel came with a drawn sword, threatening Joseph with destruction unless he went forward and obeyed the commandment fully."
