Joseph Smith was a con and he started a successful splinter sect of Christianity. The Rasta Religion is still based on African Jewish/Christian motifs. L. Ron Hubbard a SI FI writer, also managed to pull shit out of his ass and convince people he was right.
But Brian that's" postmodernism " we need to turn to the magic book that caused the schism in the first place to solve the schism
Oh and it's also not talking into account 20 dead guys from the second century who also could not agree what the magic book means .And any modern person who does the opining is "biased "
