I'll just come out and say it: The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is bizarre. Golden plates? Angels appearing? God appearing to Joseph Smith? To respond with incredulity is, I think, a natural response, especially give the modern scientific world view that is so prevalent today.
Then again, the majority of the Western World for the past millennium believed that all evil and suffering ultimately stemmed from a talking snake. Go figure.

Fundamentally Bizzare, but Intriguing
One of the weirdest things I've ever come across.I'm not exactly sure what conclusion it was aiming towards and it suffers from a lack of solid scholasticism, but if you can leap with the author in her logic and look past the interesting way in which she interprets some texts, it makes for an interesting read.
Sort of like the X-files for theologians.http://www.thinlyveiled.com/barker/josiahsreform.htm
