There are several versions of the story, of course, but it goes something like this....
Contrast this with Smith, who not only owned a home, but a hotel (which served the very alcohol he prohibited others from selling or consuming) and a printing company, and was the grand poobah of the local Masonic Lodge, planned on being the President of the US, made himself a General in his own army, the head of his own religion, the creator of a failed bank, and is revered as a beloved martyr even though he was killed by an angry mob that included some of his own former followers he had swindled and cheated....
While Christ came with the single focus of seeking and saving those who were lost, and being a sacrifice for our sins, Smith sought to build an empire around himself, to the point where Mormons even believe nobody goes to Heaven without his permission.
One Solitary Life vs. One Grand Impostor.
