The Joseph Smith I’m aware of created his own religion after many failed attempts to get a position of authority with several mainstream congregations of his day (documented beyond argument). I had a friend who did the same with martial arts. No group gave him the accolades that his ego demanded, so he started a brand new style of tae kwon do. Of course it failed, because it was foolish. I’m a believer in religious freedom. I make light of none, but some are begging to be questioned. A lot of the cults start with an infallible leader. The only one who knows the truth. Nuf said. We are all big boys and girls. Go play in whatever sandpile grabs your attention. Faith makes certain demands and I applaud anyone who is dedicated to a belief system. ☮️
