really, best not. they have another book called "a marvellous work and a wonder" which i always liked the title of.
as far as i remember the mormons believe that jesus visited america in a submarine, but maybe i dreamed it.
my brother was young enough not to have a real choice, and not only went to church and was baptised and all that, but also served a mission. his take on it now is that mormons in utah are a lot more relaxed and cool with their religion than those in outposts. that, and my recently divorced mother went for a real 'zeal of the converted' take on it. so what i didn't dream was her harshness in those years.
ok, ship doesn't have quite the same loony ring to it as submarine, but at least i was half listening...
Yeah, it's really hard to read. But then, I read a lot of kabbalistic stuff which is extremely hard to read as well. Some trouble seems to stem from the fact that people who write religious books often try to imitate an ancient style, and thus the wording gets very awkward. You know, "And thus it came to pass, and Joseph said unto Moses..." Also, they revel in vague allusions which makes reading even worse.

And I admit, I am always curious about minority religions, such as the mormons. (I started to read the Book of Mormon once, but didn't get very far.)

I don't even like polyamory that much... :-)
