Indeed.
Mormonism is not unique. The more Ehrman I read, the more I realize religion across time uses the same play book. Some aspects of early Judaism and Christianity don't have parallels in 1800s Mormonism, like oral legends later on being written down centuries later as the Mormons managed to get stuff logged in pretty quickly. But it didn't stop them from changing it though, LOL. And the Mormons accuse the other christer sects of changing things willy nilly, and its true enough, they just hate talking about all the instances they have changed 'sacred' writings, and LOL, even documented and published the differing versions of them.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
