Here we can agree on a few points of common sense and solid Christian theology.
As much as we Catholics dismiss Baptists for their silly take on scripture and cult-like approach to religion, when viewed against the actions and dogma of the LDS you turnip turners are veritable Saints!
The book of Mormon, written by a huckster with a pocket full of magic rocks and the address of every under-age girl within a days travel, is without question one of the two silliest works of religious fiction known to man. I wonder if L.Ron Hubbard is related to Joseph Smith or his oft-married side-kick Bring'em Young because between his delusional Scientologist natterings and the fantasy writings of the man who brought the world magic undies and dozens of under-age wives you have the two most striking example of con artists plundering the low hanging fruit of human need.
We get many formers members of the LDS 'Church' and there is a well-defined pattern of sins we hear in their first few dozen confessions. The same pattern holds true for the many questions they ask about Jesus and it is clear that these folks are traumatised to find out that the 'teachings' of Jo Smith actually contradict the Bible (
Mormons think Smith is Jesus-like in his power now and that they can get their own planet and Jesus-like power...
).
When given a chance to learn the truth about Jesus and the truth about Smith's lying, stealing and serial under-age girl collecting, even the most brain-washed Mormon can quickly deduce that Smith made up his entire sky-fairy story and has thusly continued to con millions of folks who are duped into believing outrageous tales that defy logic, science and common sense.
It is charlatans like Smith and Hubbard this who give religion a bad name.
