...rYou just wrote, "My persona is not at all cryptic to those who have paid attention." that is a admission of sorts to being cryptic...my questions are rather easy and simple...."do you believe that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God?" Why can't you answer the question, it is really not that hard.
So I promise you I am paying attention, do you believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God?
Sure, everyone’s entitled to their opinions. I don’t agree with yours here, but I do appreciate why you think that.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
