Joseph Smith Was a Horn-Dog

Weasel-y looking fella, ain't he?

Well this dude was pretty smart, actually.

Joseph Smith doesn't believe in the religion he created. He was an atheistic playa!

Joseph wanted more than one woman, but he knew there was no way that was going to happen on his own normal terms. So Joseph decided to brilliantly create a religion that teaches polygamy. That way he'd be able to have as many chicks as he wanted and he could tell the girls it was what God wanted and the government really couldn't hit him for it, because it fell under the freedom of religion deal. He also wanted to base it around Christianity since he knew they received the least amount of crap from establishments and such.

He gets to marry as many girls as he wants, the ladies are content, and the government can't touch him.

Genius little twit.
