the only problem with mormonism is their history is so recent that anyone with an interest can read original documents. seer stones and plates of gold read out of a hat? what?

scientology gets bad press because mcdonald's has been around longer and their founder wrote bad science fiction. and everyone knows it.

i think once too many people became literate it was too late to found a new religion.

you can't just make this shite up anymore. people ask questions.

other than about their own beliefs which are sacred and beyond doubt.
