In another thread, RfM poster "amyjo" asks,

[With the] Mormon Church [as a] sex cult, was J Smith a sex addict"?

By their fruits, ye shall know them. We're talking, of course, about Joseph Smith's how-to sex guide for the otherwise, known as addicted, the Book of Abraham. This non-"divinely inspired," clumsily-invented piece of bacwoods trash stands as undeniable proof of Smith’s use and abuse of pagan Egypt’s sex-saturated artwork. Although the Mormon Church publicly proclaims that this piece of purported "holy writ" is the divinely-delivered Word of God, truth be told, it reflects the perverted world of Smith, who made it all up to promote his carnival-barker charade and to justify his personal promiscuity.

Let's get down to the bed of the matter.

1. Chain of Custody of Ancient Egyptian Papryi and How They Came into Eventual Possession by Joseph Smith

In July 1835, Joseph Smith purchased a collection of Egyptian papyri and some mummies from a traveling salesman named Michael H. Chandler, when the latter was traveling through the then-Mormon Church headquarters of Kirtland, Ohio, peddling his wares.

The collection which Smith bought from Chandler contained ancient Egyptian papyri that had initially been discovered in Thebes by Antonio Lebolo, who then sold them to Chandler who, in turn, ended up selling them to Smith.

In 1966, portions of this Smith parchment collection (thought to have been destroyed in the great Chicago fire of 1871) were unexpectedly discovered in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art by a University of Utah researcher and gifted a year later to the Mormon Church.

Now actual scientific examination of the true nature of the papyri could be performed, instead of merely taking Smith's weasly word for it.

Recall that after Chandler sold these papyri to Smith, the Mormon Church's founding fraudster emphatically declared their hieroglyphic symbols to be the original handwritten words of the Biblical prophet Abraham--accounts which Smith claimed were written by Abraham some 4,000 years earlier.

However, professional Egyptologists have since independently translated these papyri and dated them accurately. Unfortunately for Smith and his myth-produced Mormon Church, their contents do not conform in any reasonable or evidentiary fashion to the contents Smith said he "translated" into English.

Rather, the papyri actually find origination in the well-known and historically common ancient Egyptian "Book of Breathings," an Egyptian magic-myth relating to funeral rites performed on their dead, including the embalming of corpses. The papyri also contain now-familiar ancient Egyptian mythological tales involving various gods and goddesses, including fantasy accounts of the anticipated resurrection of the Egyptian god Osiris.

Modern-day Egyptian scholars have reliably dated these scrolls back to the first century A.D.--nearly 2,000 years after Smith falsely claimed that Abraham had personally handwritten them on Egyptian parchment.


2, Sex, Lies and Storied Fakes

For purposes of this examination, note is made that various segments of the purchased papyri in possession of Smith actually depict ancient Egypt's pagan gods in various scenarios of sexual arousal.

For instance, a portion of Smith's papyri collection that he dishonestly claimed "represent[ed] God sitting upon his throne," have, in reality, been identified by reputable modern-day Egyptian scholars as the god Min.

Enter the sex-driven mind of Smith and the minds of his ancient Egyptian sex-set designers.

"Min is an 'ithyphallic god, that is, a sexually-aroused male deity. His erect penis is clearly shown. It's interesting to note that in some earlier editions of the Book of Abraham the [Mormon] Church erased the penis so it wouldn't look pornographic. It has since been restored in our current versions.

"But isn't it somewhat disturbing that Joseph [Smith] would say that this pagan god with his exposed penis is our Heavenly Father?"

("Comparison of the Facsimiles as Interpreted by Joseph [Smith] and What Egyptologists Say They Mean," by Kevin Mathie, in "Examining the Book of Abraham," at: http://www.mormonthink.com/book-of-abraham-issues.htm#comparison)


Say it ain't so, Joe!

But, alas, it is.

These staged sex scenes, as will literally be seen, are part of a common theme running through the supposed personal journals of the prophet Abraham--scenes which Smith described as divinely-revealed Mormon God doctrine--mixed in with Father Abraham's supposed personal narrative detailing his courageous efforts to escape sacrificial death at the hands of the wicked Pharaoh’s priestly class.


3. Original Sex-Fantasy Facsimile #1

The original Facsimile #1 (before it was disfigured by Smith and Company to include non-god, humanized, cut-and-pasted, recreated Egyptian priests attempting to knife to death Abraham) actually depicts--in ancient Egyptian form--the mythologized representation of the Egyptian god Osiris being embalmed and brought back from the dead.

Notice that in this scene Osiris is seen gripping his erect phallus:

4. Original Sex-Fantasy Facsimile #2

The original Facsimile #2 (before it was chopped, mutilated and relocated by Smith and Company to depict their preferred brand of invented storyline) is a representation--again, in ancient Egyptian form--of an amulet used in preparing the bodies of the dead--with the charm being hung around the neck of the deceased.

Pictured on the amulet is the above-described Egyptian god Min displaying his erect phallus.

Even supreme Mormon apologist Hugh Nibley admits that this figure is indeed the ancient, sexually engorged Egyptian god known as Min:

"As the supreme sex symbol of gods and men, Min behaves with shocking promiscuity, which is hardly relieved by its ritual nature. . . . His sacred plants were aphrodisiacal . . . and he is everywhere represented as indulging in incestuous relationships with those of his immediate family; he had the most numerous and varied religious entourage of all the gods, consisting mostly of his huge harem. . . . The hymns, or rather chanting of his worshippers, were accompanied with lewd dancing and carousing . . .to the exciting stimulus of a band of sistrum-shaking damsels."

(Hugh Nibley, "Abraham in Egypt," p. 210; cited in Mathie, "Comparisons of the Facsimiles," at: http://www.mormonthink.com/book-of-abraham-issues.htm#comparison


This particular graphic display is located in the lower right portion of the amulet's ancient Egyptian rendition and is labeled as Figure 7. As shown below, its original presentation was upside-down:

(Note: At present, there is no known photograph of Smith's original Facsimile #2 because the actual original has not been located. An inaccurately-rendered drawing of the original does exist but to assist in depicting the original figures on this facsimile as they may well have looked, a similar hypocephalus is located in the British Museum, seen here at: http://www.bookofabraham.com/boamathie/BOA_art/Hypocephalus.jpg)


Smith boldly declared this ancient Egyptian sex god Min to actually be the Mormon God in the act of reigning from his divine seat of power in a sexually-aroused state:

"It must be remembered that Joseph Smith said that this figure represented God sitting on His throne! Incredible as it may seem, intelligent, well-read LDS are fully aware of the true nature of the hypocephalus, including the presence of Min and [the Egyptian god] Nehebka (the vast majority of LDS, however, are not).How do they explain this?

"Mormon Egyptologist Michael Dennis Rhodes said:

"'Joseph Smith mentions here the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove and God "revealing through the heavens the grand key-words of the priesthood." The procreative forces, receiving unusual accentuation throughout the representation, may stand for many divine generative powers, not least of which might be conjoined with blessing of the Priesthood in one’s posterity eternally

(Michael D. Rhodes, 'BYU Studies,' Spring 1977, p. 273).


"In other words, since the God of Mormonism is sexually active, begetting children in the spirit-world (indeed, God’s power is often described by Mormons as being made of the power of the priesthood and the power of procreation), and Min is obviously sexually active as well, this then is the 'connection.'"


5. What All This Says About the Sexually-Driven Mormon "Prophet" Joseph Smith and His Obsession with Pornographic Ancient Egyptian Art

What it says is that Smith was a pure and simple fraud wannbe artist, who was possessed of a seriously messed-up mind:

". . . Joseph Smith was utterly ignorant of what was represented in the Egyptian papyri that lay before him. Incapable of translating the figures, he made things up as he went along, claiming God’s direction and inspiration as his guide. In the process he demonstrated his own inability as a 'prophet, seer and revelator,' for he grossly misidentified each of the items . . . in [all three] [f]acsimile[s] . . . .

"Joseph Smith’s defenders today seek to find any connection whatsoever between LDS belief and Egyptian religion, even to the point of seeing in the sexually-aroused Min a picture of God upon His throne.

"But to grasp at this straw is to ignore the Biblical testimony to the [Bible's version of the] one true God. [According the Old Testament], Isaiah saw God upon His throne in Isaiah 6:1-10, but instead of an incestuous god surrounded by lewd dancing girls, the angels surrounded His throne and cried, 'Holy, holy, holy.'

"God describes the gods of Egypt as 'idols' that tremble before him (Isaiah 9:1); these false gods will literally be captured by God in His wrath (Jeremiah 43:12). God reveals the worship of these gods to be an abomination that brings His wrath (Jeremiah 44:8), and mentions one Egyptian god by name in speaking of the punishment he will bring against Egypt (Jeremiah 46:25). Those who worship such gods are 'defiled' in God’s sight (Ezekiel 20:7-8).

"The Bible has nothing but contempt for the gods of Egypt, which would include the abominable figure of Min, identified by Joseph Smith as his God.

" . . . [T]here is [admittedly] a similarity between the pagan god Min and the Mormon doctrine of God developed in the later years of Joseph Smith’s life.

"What is equally clear is that the God of the Bible is not similar to either Min, nor the LDS God. As God Himself said:

"'To whom will you compare me?' (Isaiah 40:25)

(Kevin Mathie, "Comparisons of the Facsimiles," at: http://www.mormonthink.com/book-of-abraham-issues.htm#comparison)


6. Joseph Smith and Mormonism's God of the Groin

Joseph Smith not only compared his Egyptian papyri-revealed Mormon God to ancient sex-obsessed Egyptian pagan deities, he went even further by declaring that these horny Egyptian mythed-up sex gods were, in fact, in some cases actual representations of the Mormon God in the flesh.

Which, historically speaking, shouldn't be surprising since Mormon-Church inventor Joseph Smith was quite the horn dog himself.

Smith simply created his own sexed-up "scriptural" storyline to justify his personal promiscuous behavior.

Min would have been so proud of him.

**********


True-Believing Mormons--who profess to live by a higher moral code than the sinful world around them--faithfully follow, as their God's "revealed" word, the crude, ripped-off, pornographic doodlings drawn and/or traced by their lewdly “living” prophet, Joseph Smith. Mormonism is a strange, hypocritical, occultic world rooted in primitive pagan pornography. Joseph Smith was a playboy and so are his Playboy "scriptures."

That's why they deserve to be drawn and quartered.

I didn't know the definition of "drawn and quartered." So I looked it up. Holy crap!

"A prisoner who was sentenced to be drawn and quartered was subject to one of the most disgusting and cruel methods of execution available. It involved a person being hanged, disemboweled, beheaded, and then cut into pieces. The person was usually alive when this method was employed, though not for long, and the pain at this type of death is absolutely unimaginable. The punishment also put the person in jeopardy of ascension to heaven even after confession, since it was believed that bodies had to be kept whole so they could rise at the second coming.

"This style of execution was likely first employed in England by Henry III, who reigned from 1216-1272. It was a punishment reserved for people who committed high treason. The average murderer was not drawn and quartered, and women never suffered this punishment. The method was most often used in the UK.

"There’s a little confusion about the term, and a misunderstanding regarding the way that it was practiced. Some believe it meant attaching a body to four horses running in different directions to split the body in four. This is not the case. Drawn may mean hung, or it may mean drawn to the place where the execution took place.

"The person was hanged by the neck, but this was usually not fatal — prisoners were frankly fortunate if this did cause their death. He was then disemboweled and had his genitalia removed, which were burned. Beheading came next, and then the remaining body was cut into four parts. Technically, this isn’t quartering a body, since the body was cut into five pieces. The head was normally kept near the tower of London, and the body parts would be sent to different parts of England, as a gruesome message of the price high treason would cost.

"It would take England a full 600 years to finally ban this extremely brutal punishment, and it was finally outlawed in 1832. It’s difficult to think that such a punishment existed when England was civilized in so many other ways. Nevertheless, to be hanged, drawn, and quartered was the sentence of many, including Guy Fawkes. The sentence occurred under British rule once in what is now the US, sentencing Joshua Teft for supporting the Narragansett Tribe during a war with Britain. The Founding Fathers could technically have ordered the same sentence for others convicted of treason during the Revolutionary War, but they did not, though many convicted of treason were executed in other fashions."

Sounds like someone sketches your portrait and then gives you lodging. The reality ain't so nice.
