I apologize if this was posted elsewhere. It's been emailed to me by 2 different friends (non-members both). No punches pulled in this one: Quote:

Sorry, he quoted Krakauer. I can't respect anyone that quotes him.

You associate Robin with Krakauer. But the quotation in Steel's post seems to me right on the money. Does it not?

actually I just skimmed it, and when I saw Krakauer, I knew it was written by an ignoramus.
Krakauer is not a historian. Moreover, he is not honest. So why would I turn to a dishonest non-historian for my historcal source on Mormonism? Well, I would have to think, I bet if I use the name of a popular writer, it will be more convincing. SU, STFU, you haven't read any his books. |

Btw, it would not have been "just another Christian faith."
When most "Christians" say we are not Christians, they do not reference polygamy. They reference the million other heresies. |

Waters, Egan has two Pulitzers in history. Does he qualify as a historian?
