Blainer) Do they ever? You can paint an ugly picture of anyone, put horns on them if you want to bad enough. It is called "villification." Joseph Smith was a villain to many, a saint and a prophet to many more. Quite a few men who finally met him after hearing bad reports on him had to admit they liked him. I am pretty sure I would have liked him, if I had the chance to get to know him. I think he was a man's man, a gentleman's gentleman, and a true and faithful servant of God. He was not infallible. There is no doctrine of infallibility in the LDS Church. BTW, I was passing a barber shop in SLC some years ago and noticed there were drawings of JS and his brother, Hyrum, in the window. All had horns drawn on him. I knew the place to be a den of Mormon-haters, so I just said to myself, "consider the source." That's what I do now all the time. (:>)
