I have no respect for anyone who would recommend that awful piece of bigoted
filth, "The Godmakers".  The book is an inflammatory attack on the Mormon
religion and all its members.  Its primary tactic is to point out doctrines
in Mormonism that differ from those of fundamentalist Christianity and claim
that these differences prove the evil of Mormonism.  The different doctrines
are also ridiculed as absurdities, whereas in fact the doctrines of the
fundamentalist Christians who wrote this crap are just as ridiculous to
anyone outside Christianity.  Why is it more ridiculous to believe that a
man can become god than to believe that a virgin can bear a child?

I consider the book comparable to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
