Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

I've just traced the Mormon Discussions genealogical records....and Sethbag is a direct decendant of the last MDB king (known as Shadius Rex I, no relation to Dr. Shades). There will be a crowning ceremony at 2 PM today, assuming of course I haven't decided to take a nap.

ALL HAIL KING SETHBAG I

Yeah, but at least this guy has a modicum of legitimacy. Joseph Smith never did.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Good to know the love of crowning yourself royalty is still popular. When I was in Britain I met 2 kings of Wales and 1 of Scotland. I thought about trying to claim the English Crown but it would require a civil war as my family line was deposed.

lol.

In the 16th century there was a guy in Munster who called himself King David, restored polygamy, and raised an army of Christian soldiers to conquer the world for Jesus. Joseph Smith was actually engaged in a pretty timeless project, I think.
