Reader Poll: Harry is Scary

Reader...Did you know that Harry Reid is a Mormon? Should that be scary? Please read the following poll and select the number that IS NOT TRUE about Mormonism

1) Mormonism began with Joseph Smith's visions, and his translations of "golden tablets" buried in Pennsylvania in the early 1800's. These tablets were left there by a civilization that migrated across the Atlantic Ocean. Only a few of Joseph Smith's inner circle actually "saw" these tablets.

(The detailed history and civilization described in the Book of Mormon does not correspond to anything found by archaeologists anywhere in the Americas. The Book of Mormon describes a civilization lasting for a thousand years, covering both North and South America, which was familiar with horses, elephants, cattle, sheep, wheat, barley, steel, wheeled vehicles, shipbuilding, sails, coins, and other elements of Old World culture. But no trace of any of these supposedly very common things has ever been found in the Americas of that period)

2) The Curse of Cain (the black race is not entitled to hold God's priesthood because it is cursed; this doctrine was not abandoned until 1978)

3) Joseph Smith died not as a martyr, but in a gun battle in which he fired a number of shots. He was in jail at the time, under arrest for having ordered the destruction of a Nauvoo newspaper which dared to print an exposure (which was true) of his secret sexual liaisons. At that time he had announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, set up a secret government, and secretly had himself crowned "King of the Kingdom of God."

• Since the founding of the church down to the present day the church leaders have not hesitated to lie, to falsify documents, to rewrite or suppress history, or to do whatever is necessary to protect the image of the church. Many Mormon historians have been excommunicated from the church for publishing their findings on the truth of Mormon history.

4) All of the above are TRUE

The correct answer to today's poll is that all are factually correct. Reader...would you want the man who holds to this religion to be at the controls of the "space ship" we call the United States Senate????
