Mormonism is interesting to me in the fact that unlike the other major religions, whose orgins go back 2000+ years, the origins of Mormonism are easily investigated, going back only to the early 19th century.
It is surprising to me that so many people are extremely devoted to this church, despite the fact that a majority of the historical evidence shows that it was invented by Joseph Smith for his own personal gain.

So, doesn't this cast doubt on all other major religions, whose origins have been made hazy by the passage of time?
Couldn't you logically start with something similar to Mormonism, age it 2000 years, and end up with something similar to modern-day Christianity, for example?
Just a thought.
