The new photos peel back another layer of secrecy for a relatively young world religion that has come under scrutiny as its numbers swelled in the Internet age.

So this magic rock revealed all to Joey Smith?

Hmmm, I'll stick with the Cross of Christ for my truth.

It was only 185 years ago, where are the gold plates? Not like they have had 3000-4000 or so years to lose them.

They should build a really cool vault to keep it in...

That way Jospeh Snith can get to REALLY be the second Muhammed, like he dreamed about....

Actually, if you look at the Islamic ‘black rock’ legend....long before Muhammad came around, it was a local attraction for a all-inconclusive-religious fest held in the local area. The locals found that traders would get into this and the market activity would boom during the yearly fest which was open to hundreds of religions. Muhammad decided after he invented Islam....to make it a Islam-only-rock.

Mormons are rock-worshipers. Sheesh. Is there any more nonsensical crap that these poor mind-controlled people could do to make themselves a laughingstock? Moon worship? Reading tea leaves? Cat swinging?
