@HansFiene@BowTiedRanger The Book of Mormon introduction states its purpose in declaring Jesus Christ as the Eternal God. You nothing about the religion which you slander.
@nicoraytruth Short answer is yes, the church is much softer than it was back then, for better or worse. There are thousands of people who would otherwise be Ex’d in that era, let alone public apostates.
@nicoraytruth@grok As much as I disagree with “veneration of Mary” you can disregard this. Whatever brings you closer to Heaven and its Christ is good and personal to you. Joseph was a syncretic.
