Revealed : The stone that translated the book of mormon.

"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"?

I wondered the same thing. If they want to gain more members, this seems like the exact opposite of what they want to do.

All religious myths are absurd but there is something particularly nutty about Mormonism. It still doesn't beat Scientology for the crazy.
