We? Look buddy, there is no "we" if you don't want to get on board and bash the Mormons with the rest of us.
In all seriousness though (well, as serious as I can get discussing religious movements on a Saturday night on a hockey website), I've known plenty of Mormons and they were all pretty much regular folks who happened to believe a few things I think are kinda strange.
I don't know about the Star of Kobol and some of this other stuff, but the Joseph Smith thing with the plates and the hat and the stones and all that -- far as I can tell, it's public knowledge and part of the accepted story.
Questioning it isn't wrong. I agree that piling on the Mormons based on a bunch of half-truths or lies is wrong, but critics didn't pull all this stuff out of thin air.
