Holy shit.  "English court summons head of Mormon church to answer charges that Mormon religious claims are fraud"

The Book of Abraham is a literal translation of Egyptian papyri by Joseph Smith.

ii) The Book of Mormon was translated from ancient gold plates by Joseph Smith is the most correct book on earth and is an ancient historical record.

iii) Native Americans are descended from an Israelite family which left Jerusalem in 600 B.C.

iv) Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed as martyrs in 1844 because they would not deny their testimony of the Book of Mormon.

v) The Illinois newspaper called the Nauvoo Expositor had to be destroyed because it printed lies about Joseph Smith.

vi) There was no death on this planet prior to 6,000 years ago.

vii) All humans alive today are descended from just two people who lived approximately 6,000 years ago.


This ought to be funny.  I can't wait till they issue a similar summons to the pope and an imam or two.

The LDS church has some of the best lawyers on the planet and a very, very big budget. Don't get all worked into a dither just yet.
