About this ebook

This work digs into many questions with no firm answers. Simply reviewing the table of contents will show the many different questions that are looked into. In addition, there is additional history involved that may not be common knowledge to everybody. People have said I just love Joseph Smith and yet why? Did he break the law repeatedly, as is shown in this work? Was he morally correct? Did he engage in sexual unions with women who were married to other men at the same time? Did he simply copy other men in his area who claimed to have revelations from God? Why is his story of God appearing to him very similar to other mens claims that were already published in his own hometown? Did he really translate gold plates? Why did he deny he practiced polygamy while he was actually living in polygamy at the time?

Author

Larry Munger

All my life, I have asked the question why about life and spent many years studying philosophies and religions, particularly the Mormon Church and its history. I even went on a two-year mission to proselyte the Mormon Church’s teachings in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, where I met with ministers of other faiths and discussed many religious topics. Why do people believe in ideas about life without any positive evidence to support their beliefs? Is there really a god? Does God really speak to certain human beings? It was very startling to me to discover there wasn’t a Santa Claus, and yet the same people who had been telling me there was a Santa Claus also told me there was a being like God, so if they were wrong about Santa Claus, what about their teaching about God? This study is a result of many questions about the Mormon Church and asks many questions that do not have particularly definite answers. The intent of this work is to endeavor to get people to think on their own and perhaps realize things they have been taught are not always are correct.
