Yeah, I'm sure most people will ignore historical fact and scientific evidence to follow bigoted polygamists.

"In the mid-1850s, a young German schoolteacher read a new book about an industrious and even heroic people with absurdly stupid beliefs."

This young German schoolteacher being bamboozled into thinking the book was "real history" began to believe these same absurdly stupid things.


End of article.

Daniel has put his stamp of tritefullness (hey, if mormons can misuse words then I can make up new ones!) on the entire subject of the article. " It purports to be "based on historical accounts of Mormonism's early years."

Because you see, if Daniel says “purports” then the thinking has been done by a smarter more spiritual giant that you will ever be. You don’t even have to finish the article. It’s just anti-mormon “purportfullness” (see above). Those that do finish the article will find it smoothed over by obfuscation the likes of which bring to mind the mental antics of Mr. Nibley and like Nibley never having actually addressed the original opening paragraph which was the topic of the article to begin with! Therefore you and the flock are still safe.

Yes Daniel, how very trite indeed.
