Makes me sad it’s being sold instead of studied. “For Profit Paleontology” leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

      I doubt Joseph Smith was that learned. He probably just made it up because it helps people to accept their lot in life.

      Wait! Doesn’t Hinduism say that poor conditions in this life are due to bad karma from the last? That’s kind of the reverse of what the Mormons teach.

        It’s both. What life you’ll live after reincarnation depends on your karma.

          Yeah the Mormons teach something different. They believe that poor people made a choice before they were born to endure more hardships in this life in exchange for greater rewards in the next. Not that they’re being punished for their actions in their previous life.
