Can you tell me where this is recorded? Your quote of the Coc's First Vision description said nothing of "hallucination". You've specifically mentioned that word twice, now, and yet you have not shown where THEY ever say the word.

Help yourself. Several years ago at BYU I heard a lecture by the Historian of the CoC, he spoke much on their current state of belief re: the BoM and JSJr. It was quite shocking to me. They have truly gone away from a literal belief of these historical events.

I did so, and I saw the word "hallucination" nowhere --- where is it? BTW, I really get annoyed when supposedly 'good' LDS people attack other faiths. Why do you do that? I don't think the CoC deserves it, regardless of how far their faith has digressed.
