My father, who was a true believer until the very end, used to say that once you swallow the story of a fourteen-year-old boy talking to an angel, you'll believe anything else they tell you.

Crazy vs Absurd. So many absurd notions, all of which have been covered ad nauseam. Hrm … crazy, though. Well. I think the craziest one, one I apparently can’t mention even though it’s no longer applicable, takes place in a really spirtchual place. Let’s just say for batshit crazy, it’s hard to top being threatened with oral and esophageal maiming. Still gives me he heebie-jeebies to this day.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
