 I see. You must have a lot of courage to pursue the truth this way. I hear Mormons tend to shun "apostates."

Question: By your own omission you believe Joseph Smith to be deeply flawed and perhaps untrustworthy. Which is fine on its own, the Bible is full of examples where God acts through sinners. However, the entire book of Mormon hinges on Joseph Smith's revelation of God' will. How do you still believe that the Book of Mormon is real and not just a fabrication of an extraordinarily charismatic man?
