Sorry, couldn't resist that one.
Don't apologize, malkie. I can really see Matt Damon as Joseph Smith! Works for me! Although, maybe Mark Wahlberg could do it. He was pretty badass in that recent Scorsese film!
“I was hooked from the start,” Snoop Dogg said. “We talked about the purpose of life, played Mousetrap, and ate brownies. The kids thought it was off the hook, for real.”
What's wrong with saying that Joseph Smith was murdered in a gunfight?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Somehow being mauled by a lion in the arena is just a tad more martyrish. But maybe that's just me.

I hear you, but if we all agree that he was murdered in a gunfight, then the mopologists get to say he was murdered, and the critics get to say it was a gunfight. Everybody wins!

Now, here is a good question: which of the action heroes would best fit the part of Joseph Smith in our action-thriller remake of Showdown in Carthage?
Having read a couple of the books and seen one of the movies, I would like to have Jason Bourne on my side. Don't you think that he might "best fit the part of Joseph Smith in our action-thriller remake of Showdown in Carthage?

I'll suggest you for the Nobel Peace Prize, Shades.
I think this argument is a bit strained anyway. I'm not sure what Joseph was supposed to do. If I had access to a gun, I think I would have tried to preserve my life too. We could say that soldiers in war die in gunfights. We could say that all the dead at Normandy died in gunfights. But do we honour them any less? They gave their lives for a cause they believed in. Joseph was fighting for his freedom. Does that mean he should be looked upon like Billy The Kid? So what if he died in a gunfight.
