Still, calling a third party something is meaningless without evidence. phlogistician refuses to elaborate.
'Refuses'? I'm in a different time zone bub, and I have to sleep.
OK, let's get onto Joseph Smith.
Womanising:
"Joseph Smith, Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader and the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Regarded as a prophet by his followers, Smith was also a theocrat, city planner, military leader, political theorist, and polygamist."

Polygamy is sanctioned womanising. Except, the rest of the USA denied it was sanctioned and as you know, the church officially ended this practice. Except you should know it still goes on, quietly. If you deny this, you should go and read the testimonials at exmormon.org
(

which detail that Smith had sexual relations with a child too.
You should also know that Smith excluded non-whites from the Church. But you say that isn't racist. We now understand exclusion and differentiation to be racist ideas. This proves Smith was a racist.
"Early Mormonism had a range of policies and doctrines relating to race in regard to African-descended people. References to black people, their social condition during the 19th century, and their spiritual place in Western Christianity as well as Mormon scriptures were complicated, with varying degrees and forms of discrimination against black people."

Smith and being a liar. In NYC he was well known to Police. He used a 'seer stone' to locate 'treasure', and later supposedly translated the golden plates from Egyptian (er, why Hieroglyphs? Egyptians did not believe in the Abrahamic God, but Smith probably didn't know that) into the 'Book of Mormon'. Here is a nice dissection of Smith's account of finding of the golden plates, proving his account to be fallacious, and therefore, Smith to be a liar.
