The Book of Mormon was written by a grifter in the 19th century.

Weren't Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Q grifters from the 1st century?

I see no reason to consider Joseph Smith any worse than the others.

(Except for his abuse of power maybe.)

Whereas we know almost nothing about Paul, Matthew, etc., we do know quite a bit about Smith: he lived only 190 years ago.

I completely agree. They are all grifters.
