Interesting article by Bloom that looks at Joseph Smith and the thread from him to the modern church. I wish it were longer.

I have been arguing against our movement towards traditional Christianity for a long time. I am the anti-Jay Santos. Jay sees the future as Joel Osteen. I see the future as the King Follett discourse.

I am reminded of the talk that a person in my ward gave. He started off by saying "We are not Christians. And we should be proud of it." It was a great talk. The point is that we should embrace that which makes us different. Because if we don't, we will not be different. And that will be the end of the church.
