Again, you believe lies. Such as, no evidence of archeological evidence. There is a lot of evidence and more coming along all the time because of technology.
Actually, there is ZERO archeological evidence for the BoM, and there should be. According to Smith, the Nephite/Lamanite civilization lasted nearly 1000 years and was a huge empire with great cities. Yet not one of these cities have been found. No coins, chariots, iron weapons or any of the other things mentioned in it.
Compare that to the Roman Empire, which lasted about 1000 years, and we have all sorts of evidence of their existence, including statues, coins, ruins, remnents of the Latin Language that exist to this day in the Romance Languages.
When you say "Hebrews" do you mean "Jews?" Following the Bible and history, Jews living in Israel are of the tribe of Judah. Lehi, the first Prophet coming from Israel to Americas, was of the tribe of Joseph. We know that most of the tribe of Joseph was carried away and became one of the lost tribes of Israel. LIke Benjamin, some of Joseph were able to hide and stay or escaped and got back to Jerusalem. So, of course the DNA of today's indigenous people would not have any link to Jews in Israel. And, thus, there is proof.
No, actually, I mean Hebrews.. because the Jews descended from the tribe of Judah. Seriously, do you actually read that bible you are so proud of? But the notion that these tribes got into boats, sailed across the atlantic with bronze age technology, and ended up in the Americas is just... silly. (Actually, the lost tribes became the Samaritans and other local groups in the Levant who didn't worship the same way the Jews did. )
Criminal activity? Not supported by historical evidence.
1825 - Smith was convicted in a court in NY State of fraud.
1837 - Smith's Kirtland Bank was charged with writing fraudulent bank paper.
1838 - Engaged in small level terrorism in Missouri, eventually leaving to their expulsion from the state.
1845 - Joseph Smith illegally destroyed the presses of the Nauvoo Inquisitor, organized his own private army and illegally engaged in bigamy.
And, as far as the loose use of the word "Marriage" you give, that didn't happen. Were young girls sealed to Joseph Smith and others? Yes. But, sealings aren't earthly marriages. The girls did not live with the men either, at least until they were 18. There is one that people point to that wrote about the experience and stated over and over they never had sexual intercourse. Even after she was 18.
Yes, I am sure these are the apologetics you guys teach today... it just doesn't pass the laugh test. Smith did what all cult leaders do, use their position to engage in sexual excess.
So, you do know that spreading false witness (lying) is one of the Ten Commandments thou shalt not do. And, of course, we could go down the Catholic path with all the pedos and murderous past Popes if you would like. See, those in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks!
Oh, I'm the first one to criticize the Catholic Church (Of which I was a member for 21 years) and I don't engage in the kinds of rationalizations you just did.
