"Americans love so much to be fooled" - French Poet and Philospher Charles Baudelaire - Americans in 182x and 183x were more naive and gullible than now in 2011 and 2012 - Jesus of Nazareth against Prophet Joseph Smith and Mitt Romney

.

"People may truly benefit by the confidence man's trickery, if they gain something valuable through their believing". - People may believe absurd things if they expect some profit from the deception. The enjoyment of Polygamy or any other benefit.

It is very clear that Jesus was a great master of wisdom and meekness. A man of peace ( except for the aggressive behavior at the temple ). The Christian Gospels are full of Wisdom and a Philosophy for Peace and Human Understanding. I can say the same of the teachings of Gautama Buddha.

Joseph Smith was a scoundrel, and CON MAN ( this comes from "Confidence Man" ), that is a swindler and deceiver, a thief that went many times to jail. An abuser of Women that had many quarrels with his first wife.

The Mormon teachings and their "revelation" are sheer foolishness. After such a Prophet or God like Jesus Christ, there were no more revelations needed. That was the teaching of the Established Church for 1,500 years and the what the main Reformers in Europe taught in 15xx and 16xx.

So for me, Prophet Joseph Smith was the epitome and paradigm of the Con Man in 182x and 183x. The word "Con Man" did not exist at that time. They were called JUGGLERS and Joseph Smith was called JUGGLER many times before courts for all his wrongdoings.

He swindled people with magic crystals to find treasures and with many other schemes to make money.

It has been said that Americans side and vote for Republicans because they expect to become rich "real soon" and expect to be millionaires or billionaires and that is good ( the money, not the GOP ).

So if you expect to be a millionaire then you better start hating taxes for the Rich and Wealthy, even if you are jobless and have sent hundreds of letters and forms asking for a job.

But will this be enough to elect Mitt Romney ??, a man that believes or feigns to believe in the absurd teachings and deceptions of Prophet Joseph Smith ??

I don't know but I don't like the nuclear red button in the hands of such ignorants, fools, morons, or men that practice such deception as feigning to be in these cults and superstitions.

Expect more attacks of me against such ignorance and superstition as the Mormon Religion. And don't forget that throughout History this Mormon Religion has being a den of Racism against Blacks and probably against others.
