To me the book would be a mythical testament to another Jesus.(2 Cor. 11:4) Joseph Smith would simply be a false prophet who lied in claiming the real Jesus spoke through him. To me the sacred allegory idea puts a positive spin on what would be a book inspired not by God, but by man, and maybe Satan. If i did not have MS i would if i accepted that idea be in SLC and Independence passing out tracts to my unsaved persons who still thought Joseph Smiths teachings worth upholding.

Joseph didn't claim that Jesus spoke through him....... it is interesting to me that if you think the BOM was a hoax and Joseph was a huxter, then why would you join a splinter group and not opt for orthodox christianity- so-called?
