I'm just wishing they would shut up and go away. This PR campaign is seriously cutting into the GA's expense accounts.

You make the misconception that interest in Mormonism equates to religious acceptance of Mormonism.



No I don't. Strawman.

Joseph Smith is one of our enemies. We told him nothing of the sort.

In reading the literature howto's on treasure digging available at the time Demons "defended" treasure. It was the job of the demon to bring the treasure down into the earth when people like joe came digging. Magic circles, salt spread on the ground etc. Demons watched over the buried treasure in that worldview.

I inspired George Lucas to write it. It's my schtick, not his.
