Steven “Bukake” Smoot has a new book out which explains everything. I wonder if anyone has picked it up yet.

I'm sure Robert Boylan will soon have a new GoFundMe page to raise funds so he can purchase a copy.

Here's my main issue: no matter how the book was produced, its cosmology is complete nonsense. So either (1) Abraham misheard Elohim, or (2) Elohim must have been on mushrooms when he talked to Abraham. That's assuming the book is an accurate record of what Abraham thought God said. The third option, of course, is that MAYBE JOSEPH SMITH MADE THE WHOLE DAMN THING UP!!! Or something. Or am I mistaken? Thank you.

Steven claims he learned Bukake from the urban dictionary.
