The Quest for the Historical Paul

[vorlon13]

I think you pulled that out of your ass.

Unable to keep track of all his lies, the lying liar, Joseph Smith, lied his best multiple times, and gifted his (bewildered? gullible?) followers with several (6? 7? ??) versions of his visitation lie, and since he wasn't that good at lying (not that it mattered to his gullible followers), his multiple lying lies were grossly inconsistent with each other.

Some lies were dictated to scribes, he apparently lied up a few more inconsistent versions from his own lying lips to other followers, he approved for publication some more lying versions penned by other lying liars in his organization, and much to the horror of the church elders of the time when it was discovered (1960s), he committed another lying pile of lying lies to actual paper with his own actual handwritten lies from his own lying hand.

Anyhow, the church had already deemed another lie to be the official lie, so when the handwritten lies (in Joe's on lying hand, you will recall !!!!!) was discovered in the archives (no wonder from then on it has become MUCH more difficult to get copies of these or other lies out of there) rather than call even more attention to all the lies, they decided to just ignore the latest lie filled version of Joe's visitation lie since, regardless of how that particular lie came to be created and how it became known, it was just easier at that point, and hey, what's a few more lies, even if the church hierarchy knew they had (again) fucked up royally, and it was just easier to throw another lie onto the lie pile and just issue a statement saying that all the versions were (get this!!) remarkably consistent.

And true to form, the chronically and compulsively gullible members of the flock, by now, so filled to the very brim with lies, lies, lies, more lies, and some more lies on top of that, just decided to go with that obvious lie too since 'rocking the boat' over all the lies doesn't even occur to them anymore.
