What happens to a peasant who kills a deer on the land of a General Authority?

Wait, is this the thread on Mormonism of the 12th Century... sorry for the mistake.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Bill Maher wrote: It's not unfair to ask serious candidate Mitt Romney if he really believes that Joseph Smith received golden plates from an angel in 1823, and translated them into "scripture" that contains not a single person or place name that has been shown to ever exist.

Are you too gullible to be president if you believe in a world full of characters who appear in the historical record exacly as often as leprechauns?
Golly, I sure wish I could remember things like this for that never-to-happen occasion when I could use it in discussion with a believer. :P

I love that he used leprechauns, which is my favorite point of comparison.
