NY Times: Why I love Mormonism

He says "this is not the way people spoke." really? haha To claim the way things were phrased in the book as being different than old english makes it a fake is ridiculous. It was written in an way to get its point across and it does. Also to call Joseph Smith a charlatan is ridiculous. He wasn't arrested for pulling wool over people's eyes but because his beliefs were different. Lastly if biology was created by God with an exact purpose to question the plan of salvation and see where their faith was... Dawkins clearly lost his and never thought to ask.

You have to really be careful when you start adding an "ism" to the end of Mormon's name. An "ism" is a philosophy — false, I might add — such as evolutionism. So it's impossible for me to have any respect for people who idolize "Mormonism." Get out of it and get back into subservience to the Lord, like Mormon himself was. By the way, the original article in its entirely misrepresents Joseph Smith's views on Christ. Joseph Smith actually knew the Lord personally. Much of what is attributed to Joseph is utterly wrong or taken out of context. I can tell you that Joseph didn't have a problem with the scriptures, but modern Mormonism does. I was recently told by my bishop to refrain from quoting from Isaiah — especially Isaiah 9 — since it would "confuse" members. My reply was that the members ought to be reading Isaiah and studying it and praying about it to alleviate their "confusion." Censorship in the Mormon church? Yeah. If you're going to quote scriptures, especially from Isaiah, watch your step. You could be muzzled. I hope by the time the bishop finished talking with me he realized he was out of line, but I doubt it.
