davislyd 's review for:
Under the Banner of Heaven
by Jon Krakauer
I am not a fan of Jon Krakauer’s writing but the facts that he shared in this book were interesting enough to keep me coming back.
Disclaimer- I haven’t done any other research so I’m just going off the facts as Jon K provided.
First off, Joseph Smith - His back story is nuts!
Some examples
He started his religion on ‘Seeing’ rocks/ magic rocks
The Golden book (bible) that no one actually has seen and it ironically disappeared
He used his magic rocks to decode the golden book
Basically he made all that sh*t up because all the historical references were proven to be fabricated.
It was crazy also how he told this one guy that “god wanted him to sell his farm “ so he could pay for the printing of the Book of Mormon. And the guy did it!!
Obviously Joseph Smith was convincing!
