What Joseph Smith had was a bit different from the old mythologies because Joseph Smith was describing a being from another planet. Which, was unheard of at the time. The Greek Gods lived on a Mountain. The Jew-God lived in another dimension. Elohim lived on another planet called Kolob. Who the fuck was talking about other planets around other stars at that time? > Do you know when they die they believe they inherit a planet for themselves to rule over for eternity? That's not just an episode out of Red Dwarf with Rimmer World, its their actual belief. Battlestar Galactica (TOS). It's literally the Book of Mormon in space.
