Thanks, Archaea, but this is old news. It's common knowledge that the Book of Mormon is like a time capsul of early nineteenth century upstate New York. Brodie has a nice summary in No Man, including noting the disputes over the nature of the godhead, which, actually, mirrored similar disputes in late antiquity. I really wish folks back then had had television or video games to distract them from the boredom of rural life, which is what probably led to all this.
