In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney's unpaid family bill catches up with him [View all]NJCher
(43,081 posts)28. thanks for the primary source input
I've never read it, but I had a childhood girlfriend try to convert me. This was pretty much the impression I got of it, too--that it was fairytale-like.
As a child, my teachers often told my mother about my wild imagination and creativity in storytelling. Being a wild fabricator myself, when I heard my childhood friend's summation of what Mormonism is, my first thought was "wow, what a great story." At least I had the sense to label mine "fiction."
Now, a decade later, I want to say, "Why didn't I think of that?" I'd have my very own tax shelter.
I was run out of Sunday school for saying the same stuff about Christianity, fwiw.

Dunno, seems pretty credible to me when you stack it up against Scientology.
