This is an outright lie...The Golden plates were taken away by an angel. He never melted them to make a church.
As for his many wives...He didn't have any children by other wives.

I believe that if there was any tablets found by Joseph Smith, then they weren't Gold because how is that being humble (speaking from a Christian or...biblical aspect)? Were the Ten Commandments made out of gold? How about Jesus's chalice? Of course not

Mercy...What an idea. There is no proof of the existence of the Golden Tablets. However, I accept any religious philosophies that are based on cooperative humanitarianism.

IF a person had golden tablets that espoused the truth you wouldn't melt them down. You have proof in your hands and you melt it? Give me a break.

Not necessarily. That's why it's important to carefully study the Bible. Accepting every detail of truth helps to isolate the phonies.

No it is a sign of madness if you actually believe stories like that.

OK...I am not Mormon, but when I read the story about (what's his name) looking through a rock into a hat to find prophecy while wearing his "magic underwear"...that was enough for me to just walk away.

They didn't melt them down. They didn't exist.
