Sure you can. It&#x27;s a low bar. That&#x27;s the point. In the absence of any possible evidence we have to work with what we&#x27;ve got. As for cryptic - if you can google it I don&#x27;t consider it too cryptic. lmgtfy<p>And I only mean ultimate, now. Compared to the other religions we could be squabbling over. In a future religion, god could be all that + offer you a pony. We&#x27;ll never know. But for now, of the choices, they&#x27;re all <i>obvious</i> losers compared to Mormonism. Literally, you could <i>upgrade</i> a catholic or a muslim by giving them Mormonism.<p>As for Smith&#x27;s motivations, who&#x27;s saying he wasn&#x27;t fixing things. He just didn&#x27;t feel the need to get all stabby and make killing a sacrament.<p>And it conflicts nothing - it tells it how it is. The pope <i>is</i> god&#x27;s voice, there&#x27;s no conflict. Perhaps the pope is the missing element in islam. As the ultimate religion we can only assume it has not just a point, but a great one.
