Self-delusion is an amazing thing


This is, graphically and technically, an amazing website, whether or not you care about the Book of Mormon.

I have a dear friend of many years who is a Mormon, and I still shake my head at such a powerful case of self-delusion.
I mean, reading any religious text can be hysterical, but check this out, at the beginning of chapter five on page 38:
"And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold, they said unto me, Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than that which we are able to bear."

It gets even funnier than that, if you can bring yourself to read the rest of it.

I know, I know, it's not nice to make fun of someone's sacred texts. But, man, this book sure makes that a 'hard thing', one that's 'more than that which we are able to bear'. I do not know how an otherwise intelligent, rational person can do anything but laugh themselves sick at this poorly written drivel. (It's not even good science fiction, fer gawd's sake...)
