    Before Joseph Smith became a "prophet" he was a magician, then he claimed to be physic and could tell peoples future and things of that nature. He then later became known as a "prophet" of God. He saw that there was a conflict in church and had conflict of his own so he took advantage of a good oppurtunity to start his own. He eventualy went on to having many wives ( some already married). I have enough trouble with one. So if your telling me that balancing that many wives isnt magic then magic doesnt exist. Just a little comic relief for the mormons. These are facts that you can find in non mormon history books and history channel as well. You may find this in anything talking about Joseph Smith that wasnt written by Mormons. I also watched a video about Joseph Smith called " The Pieces to the Mormon Puzzle". This is a video with ex mormons who saw how inconsistant their beliefs were and how the three books the Mormons use go completely against the Gospel of Christ and the rest of Gods' word ( THE BIBLE ). I have also looked online to several different websites that also said the same thing.

    • As I point out in my entry, the Mormon church itself acknowledges that Joe Smith dabbled (or more) in folk magic.

    • Completely incorrect. Giacomo did spell his name right, though!

    • It seems Satan, the father of deception, knows where to focus his efforts to prevent truth.

    • Yes he took advantage of a great business opporunity after losing the family business. The comic relief part is great.
