The God Makers

Although I live in Utah I never payed much attention to the Mormon cult. When asked to join by members, I would tell them that Mormonism seemed fraudulent to me . However all I really knew were details about the Mormon massacre (mountain medows massacre), polygamy, and the way they changed things in their own history.I found out about saints alive which is run by Ed Decker, then I decided to get one of his books, The God Makers was my choice. This book is excellent for anybody trying to find all the loopholes in the lds church. It is not filled with propaganda but facts found by Ed Decker and many other researchers on this true American cult. The book covers the faulty history of the church and provides much information on the founder Joseph Smith, which points to him as being a complete fraud and showed how he deceived people. Of course this is important since the lds church stands or falls on him. It shows the way he based much of his teaching from pagan ideas. It doesn't just deal with the faulty history of the church either. One of my favorite chapters tells what would happen if the lds started to come to world wide power. Also about the secret rituals practiced in the church and many other ways of how the book of Mormon contradicts the bible. He provides key footnotes so you can compare them for yourself.What bothers me is the reviews on this book. Since most reviews came from Utah Mormons, I think they have not even read the book. Some even admit it in there review and simply saying not the truth. Others question Ed Decker. Much of the god makers are articles and what not by many different people studying the church. Some people say we need to make a more loving and calm approach. I think that is true but when talking to a brainwashed Mormon all you can do is provide facts and show them that this simply isn't Christianity.
