OK, I knew Mormons were fucked up, but this book is blowing my mind. These fuckers are Taliban-style crazy-evil. Humanity never ceases to surprise me, in a bad way.
Joseph Smith was basically a murderer, rapist, child molester, megalomaniacal dictator, thief, liar, con-man, bigot, and all-around psycho. And the church that worships him is huge, and continues to grow. Wow.
Well, at least he was totally pwn3d by a lynch mob... an awesome death...
Anyway, a good read as always from Krakauer.
