wow. just wow. That was one of the most insightful observations of the Hill Cumorah Pageant in particular and the history of mormonism's origin in that area in larger context. I was actually blown away by the way the author explained it. Thank you!
EOD, I didn't quite know what to think of it. The doubt the doubt thing was a strange choice of wording, for sure. Not sure about the rest of it, so who knows what he was trying to tell the readers. The bulk of his article was very unflattering to mormonism.

I thought of "thoughts and prayers" on Facebook.
It was an excellent article. He is very entertaining. It was as if a young Kurt Vonnegut went to visit a cult gathering in a middle-of-nowhere place to reenact a ritual festival that brings the energy of their deities to earth.
I doubt he had much in mind then throwing the Mormons a bone after cleaning their carcasses thoroughly.
One thing in the article that made me chuckle a little bit was this statement: "the whole religion(mormonism) was as recent an invention as the lawnmower". <snort>
