Dear brothers and sisters,
I thought I’d share this inspirational paragraph taken from The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins:
One religion that was intelligently designed, almost in its entirety, is Scientology, but I suspect that it is exceptional. Another candidate for a purely designed religion is Mormonism. Joseph Smith, its enterprisingly mendacious inventor, went to the lengths of composing a complete new holy book, the Book of Mormon, inventing from scratch a whole new bogus American history, written in bogus seventeenth-century English. Mormonism, however, has evolved since it was fabricated in the nineteenth century and has now become one of the respectable mainstream religions of America – indeed, it claims to be the fastest-growing one, and there is talk of fielding a presidential candidate.
These things I say in the name of Willard Pentameonus, thou ascendeth!
