I was just looking at this story on the Huffington Post... "Mormons believe that 185 years ago, Smith found gold plates engraved with writing in ancient Egyptian in upstate New York. They say that God helped him translate the text using the stone and other tools, which became known as the Book of Mormon." WTF. How does any presumably successful and semi-sane executive in their church look at this and think, "Yes, if only we are more transparent and show the stone to the public then we will appear more credible"?
