Joseph Smith was apparently a lot like Mohammad: a false Christ, a false Scripture, "revelations" which were either delusory or deliberate self-aggrandizing fabrications, a formula for grabbing political power, the killing of "deserters" and "apostates", and a whole lot of sexual subjugation, with any female he could get his hands on.
It shouldn't surprise anyone when a religious charlatan like Mohammad or Joseph Smith follows this pattern. But what still surprises me, is that so many people --- men and women ---- become willing followers.
