Kant considers Christianity to be fundamentally a moral religion, while Islam is extortionist.

Imagining that each Gabriel and Moroni (and are they one and the same?) wanted to “mess up” God’s work. What could be the motivation? And then considering the plight of the Roman Catholic Church regarding homosexuality and proposing a solution.

A ramble in considering the revelations of Gabriel, Moronie (of Mormon fame) and Paul, and suggesting that Paul would be the best bet in a consideration of all the evidence if an unattached person were trying to decide between them.
