the only problem with mormonism is their history is so recent that anyone with an interest can read original documents. seer stones and plates of gold read out of a hat? what?
scientology gets bad press because mcdonald's has been around longer and their founder wrote bad science fiction. and everyone knows it.
i think once too many people became literate it was too late to found a new religion.
you can't just make this shite up anymore. people ask questions.
other than about their own beliefs which are sacred and beyond doubt.
