Just finished reading Krakauer's Under The Banner Of Heaven and I am stunned. I read it to dig up the awful truth about the Mormon religion and I found the dirt. Worms, too. Krakauer's well researched and well paced book delves into the thoroughly documented forming of the Mormon religion. I doubt the Mormons' appreciated his take on it, but they have plenty of time and places to publish their views (see Utah).

It blows my mind to find out that a horny charlatan founded one of the fastest growing branches of christian faith in the last 200 years. Scrying stones, disappearing and reappearing solid gold tablets, the angel Moroni (is this where the word moron comes from? If not, it should be), divinely inspired racism and sexism, and more denial then all of Egypt. You can't find science fiction wierder then this shit.
