[edit] Fanaticism
Fanaticism.——Mormonism, the most loathsome and deformed of the children of superstition and ignorance, appears to thrive and wax strong in this country. Its absurb and abhorrent doctrines and practice, its gross immoralities and ridiculous ceremonials, find a genial soil among "the only free and intelligent people in the world." Even in Boston, refined and literary Boston, nothwithstanding her public schools, Mormon has his disciples. Lectures on the doctrine are pronounced, and no doubt converts are manufactured. In the West the sect thrives, like every thing else in that part of the country, and promises, if unchecked, to attain a formidable height.——Strange times these.
