Is It Naptime Yet

Last night on PBS the first part of “The Mormon’s” aired. I enjoyed what they did. It was neutral and not for or against the church, mostly just the facts. I learned a couple of things. One thing I just recently learned. I actually first heard about it from a south Park episode, which I was only watching because it was about Mormon’s, in which Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by placing a seer stone inside a hat and looking into the hat. I knew about the seer stone, I didn’t know so much about the hat.
The second thing that came as news to me dealt with the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I had always envisioned and heard about it as upset LDS men who in rage one night went and killed a group or pioneers. I had no idea that it really happened in two sessions and that it was under false security for the travelers. It was really a planned killing of the survivors of the previous attack. That saddens me.

I do look forward to the second night. I find my faith changing. Partially because of Jon, but I do find that I like my faith, though I don’t always agree it.
