I wouldn't be so sure. Nobody knows where those golden plates came from.

It was Joseph Smith of Palmyra N.Y. that came up with the plates or claimed to have.

But, it's an actual engraving of the event.

Cameras hadn't been invented yet. So, they had sculptors around who would make engravings as important happenings took place.

Well? What is your explanation, then?

Nowadays, if a news cameraman isn't present, then it didn't happen.

Back then, if a sculptor wasn't present, then it didn't happen.

That's exceptionally easy to explain. He was either a dangerous lunatic or a devious liar.

At the latest Values Voters Summit, an evangelical pastor had stated that true evangelicals should never vote for a Mormon like Mit Romney. Are Mormons welcome anymore in the evangelical dominated Republican party? And if so, are they only supposed to provide votes for "acceptable" candidates, but stay away from running for office, themselves? Will Mormons just be added to the list of undesirable elements, along with the gays and Muslims by the Republican party?
To be sure, I'm not going to vote for Romney, regardless if he gets the Republican nomination, but that won't have anything to do with his religion. What is especially disturbing about this is, if Mormons can be singled out by a major element in a political party as undesirable to run for office, how safe are the rest of us?

The KKK, for the first time in its long history started this 21st Centurey by...allowing Catholics to join!

Catholics were on the long laundry list of folks the KKK hated.
But now they too can join the KKK! (is this a great country or what?!).

Evangelicals used to hate Catholics as well.
But now Catholic Rick Santorum champions, and is championed by Protestant Evangelicals.

So eventually they might start to like Mormons as well.

But it will just have to take some more time.

Maybe Glenn Beck will run for President, and that will clinch it.

If you want the Mormon version of events, the doctrine teaches that the prophet Lehi brought the plates over from Judea to what is now the USA around the year 600 BC.

So yes, it was actually Jewish gold.

They were guarded by the prophet-warrior 'Moroni' during a war with South American natives hence the name and he buried the plates in what is now New York. Moroni became an angel and was one of the figures who appeared in Joseph Smiths visions.

Joseph Smith, supposedly under the power of divine direction dug the plates up the 1820's.

Since I moved out west, I've met a bunch of Mormons. They seem like good people and pretty normal in most regards.

We have - and have had - Mormon neighbors at my apartment complex, and I've found them to be quite a bit friendlier and helpful than many of our Non-Mormon neighbors.
