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.

I didn't realise they nabbed Warren Jeffs recently. Thank fuck for that. Who is running the FLDS now?

Looks like he's still considered in charge but some other pervs are stepping up to the plate:

I was going to start an "Into Thin Air" thread, but I just don't have the confidence...
