Leaving Christianity for Mormonism is like swapping a blister on your toe for a blister on your thumb. At the end of the day, it’s still a blister.

How can you say Christianity is a false religion, but Mormonism isn't? Mormonism is based on Christianity, so if the latter is false, the former is as well.

No he wasn't.
I beg to differ, but, in any case, many modern scholars are of the opinion that Jesus and his earliest followers were fully Jewish. This view is very mainstream and is hardly "moronic".

Jesus was Aramaic.
No. that's the language that Jesus spoke; Jesus was a Hebrew.

He definitely does not look Jewish in any of the most popular depictions of him. Why is that?
