    Huh, yeah, I wonder why they never thought of that. Maybe we should inform them.

    We don't think that. We have a ton of flaws, just like everyone else, and only Jesus can save us. Our goal is to help everyone come unto Jesus Christ. I worship God according to my conscience and hope that you will do the same. I believe that Joseph Smith was a true prophet, like Moses or Peter, but that is something that everyone has to figure out for themselves. A good place to start is by reading the Book of Mormon and asking God if it is true.

    Don't get too excited about it. Of all the thousands of religions in the world virtually everyone of them thinks THEY are the only true religion and everybody else in the world is going to hell or will suffer for being one of them. If you think your job is to pick the RIGHT religion to avoid ever lasting suffering, you've missed the point.

    Nope, he was a blatant con man and plagiarized extensively from the Freemasons and the religion he started is based on lies.  On the other hand, most Mormons that I have ever known have been really good people and I've never gotten the impression that they think their perfect.

    Joseph Smith is no more a false prophet for Mormons than Mohammed is for Muslims or any prophet is for any religion. They might be false prophets for your religion but that is irrelevant, most people  don't follow your religion.
