Just how stupid is the entire concept of God "threatening" anyone with a sword? What is the consequence of refusing the order? Death? A predestined E ticket to hell? The whole concept is so obviously stupid it staggers the mind that anyone with an ounce of ability to deductively reason fact from fiction could side with fact. Dum dum dum dum dum...

It was certainly something I was unaware of until I became internet savvy. If there were a thread on top ten ridiculous things in Mormondom, that would be in my top one.

Joseph was talking in code.

With all of the sex he was having... He was try to say, "It hurts when I pee, like a flaming sword was rammed up my urethra.!!"
