Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!! Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith. |

It took me all of five minutes to start questioning whether some of these places even existed in 1829. And it turns out at least a couple didn't. And even if the rest did exist, they were all very small podunk wilderness settlements that could not have been around for very long and therefore wouldn't have been known by people living fairly close by, much less hundreds of miles away. It's not like Joseph had yahoomaps or a Rand McNally road atlas at his disposal. I don't see how even a HS educated person should fall for this one.
