Ratings and reviews

"The sun comes up and the sun goes down". "The tides come in and the tides go out".When I forced myself to read a "non-fiction" novel by the factor man himself I found myself realizing that only a self-righteous, right wing pundit like himself could compel people to believe this stuff! I mean hey folks, when a man who knows everything about everything uses the aforementioned statement about the moon and sun to explain away creationism to Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, that said it all. Also, I do remember from Sunday school that Jesus was supposed to be the SON of God-NOT GOD. Ol' Bill acts like he was hanging out fishing on the Sea of Galilee with Jesus himself! I bet he didn't catch anything though.

We should all know that Jesus is a very nice man,he showed honesty and other things. I still don't get why.. just why the Roman Soldiers executed him. He tried his best to make them believe he is the rightful son of God. But, they weren't opening their eyes and realizing that Jesus is God's son. So they decided to kill him, crusify him, letting him sit there in agony until he is gone. This book isn't telling exactly everything about Jesus though. And Jesus in not God. Remember That!

I really wish the mormons on here would stop bearing false witness by calling themselves Christians and then go on to say that we are wrong in saying that Jesus is God. The Bible is clear as was Christ that He indeed is God in the flesh. The christ of mormonism is NOT the same Christ of the Bible and Christianity. The christ of mormonism had a literal beginning in being born to a mother god and a father god, he is from another planet, he has a literal brother named satan, and he is one god among many.
