"speaking as a man" when you bring up any of the crazy shit he said(adam as god, blood atonement, quakers on the moon, etc.) just point them here:

"I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 95).

If I believed in evil...

Yeah but he was speaking as a man when he said that, too.

There's also the whole bit about how a prophet can't lead the people
astray or god will remove him. This whole "speaking as a man" shit doesn't fly, they don't get it both ways

Quakers on the moon was originally Joseph Smith. I love posting the young women's journal on the BYU server. "The Inhabitants of The Moon".
