  I think that's accurate. The book of Mormon is fan fiction of the sequels of the Torah.
context: The suspect pitched investment that was pitched as a nearly risk-free opportunity to earn annual returns of 50 percent by lending money to slip-and-fall victims awaiting checks after the settlement of their lawsuits.
  Anyone with common sense will know that such return is too good to be true scenario. >
  
  That's why they target religious people. >
  
  Specifically Mormons. The religion started as a long con. The true believers are guaranteed to be gullible because anybody with common sense finds it laughable and walks away. >
  
  Not sure how Mormons are and more or less of a con than any other organization religion practiced today. 
  They are all cons (perhaps with different motives) but  all generally rely on obedience, dogmatic practices, faith, and other qualities that mimic the Mormons. 
  We just give a pass to more mainstream religions - often because people grew up in them (or still are). 
  We refer to Greek and Roman "mythology" but people get really pissed when you call it Christian mythology >
  
  That is a very abrahamic view on religion that thinks every religion acts like the abrahamic religions common to Europe, and ignores mormonism's creation by rewriting the history of indigenous people for financial gain and racism.
  Mormonism is closer to the Hoteps saying native americans were black settlers from of a long lost black empire than it is a religion. >
  
  I was under the impression Mormonism was a continuation/update of abrahamic religion after Jesus. Similar to Islam and Muhammed, but now it's Joseph Smith and Mormon.
