    Why do you ask or think that?

      No, I think they believe that he visited America some time after his unfortunate adventures in Israel and did some stuff that inspired someone to write the book of Mormon. The guy who 'found' the book of Mormon on some tablets was a noted con-man, but Mormons believe he is a biblical prophet. Awesome religion.

      Some Mormon missionaries came to my house once, and I think they tried to hypnotise me.

        If they do, do they like go to Houston, Texas or Utah or something to see his birthplace?

          and also something along the lines of the lost tribes of Israel relocating to the United States. Not sure how they traveled there, possibly on Noah's definitely real and not at all made up Ark.

Now Hatton has hired Sr. to no doubt shore up his defensive deficiencies. Go figure.
            id rather have an IQ.lol.

              If they really do think that **** about the lost tribes of Israel relocating to America then I'd have to say it is a very stereotypical American type of religion. I'm surprised it hasn't been adopted nationwide.

              Incidentally, 60% of Americans believe that the USA is 'specially favoured by God'. So perhaps the Mormons are somewhat redundant anyway.

                I did a quick google and found:
                The Book of Mormon spells out the origins of Mormonism, based on the belief that the Lost Tribes of Israel sailed to the American continent and became identified by European explorers as the American Indians. Using the latest DNA findings Simon Southerton questions this belief.

                Full respect to this DNA expert, but he's picking a bit of an easy target to prove his scientific skills.

                A DNA expert proving that Native Americans are not a lost tribe of Israel is like Ali beating a guy with a 0-500 record.

                      I think some fighters are seeking the services of sr because he can help their defense and plus there's no one around to teach guys how to be as defensively sound as the greatest defensive fighter of all time: Willie Pep.
