A friend of mine keeps comparing "historic" Mormon figures like Moroni and Nephi to actual historic figures I consider to be heroes. To tie in with something else current the news just compared the former pope Ratzinger to George Washington.
In what way do any of these people qualify? Excepting GW who obviously does. Ratzinger led a group of people who systematically covered up serious child abuse and used their influence to help the perpetrators avoid legal consequences. Moroni and Nephi are not real.
We have actual, real heroes in our history and our present. Why do people adore those like the former pope, the "prophet" of the LDS church and the GAs?
