I was reading about Mormonism last week and was wondering the same thing. Apparently some of it was plagiarized from a few different books.

how could he actually recall and dictate all of it on the fly out of a hat though; is he just a genius? the witnesses he worked with all say he did it this way

Yeah, I have no idea. I was trying to picture it the other day and thinking about how hard it would be to speak well enough extemporaneously to give the impression that you are reading something directly.

Mark Twain had some comments on the book and mentioned that JS used a few crutch phrases over and over. Still doesn't make it unimpressive.

He was either a savant or a master con artist. At times he made the people transcribing what he said be separated from him by a curtain. Maybe he had written parts of it previously.

lots of people can ramble about shit, trick is to organize it into something coherent when put on paper, who knows how responsible he was for actually "pulling it together"

false -- many fell out with him and would have had motives to call flame, see eg martin harris, oliver coudery, but never did

Can you link their Facebook post from the time so I can see they definitely did not call flame?

Much of it is plagiarized from a book called view of the hebrews iirc and then he straight up put a bunch of chapters from the bible in there

And if you read it it's unfathomably dull and terribly written like a black college students english essay, tons and tons of filler

Mormonism teaches that those who were neutral in the War against Satan were “cursed with black skin” so it is the CR theology
