And perhaps, ORIGINALLY, money WAS essentially Joseph Smith's motivation. In fact, his family had long supplemented its farm income by so-called "treasure-digging." Smith would hire himself out to find lost items and buried treasure by use of a seer stone placed in a white stovepipe hat. To get away with this, he obviously had to continually gain and then fleece new "customers" by staying constantly on the move or by asserting that his current clients were closer to finding what they sought, but that to continue would cost them even more money. There was no shortage of customers because, just as today, there was no shortage of gullible people.I think he just made the whole thing up to make money, which he did

Not necessarily. But then again one can be deceived, tempted, influenced or used by the devil without specifically being possessed. And I would say an important clue as to whether a religion's teachings are influenced or originated by Satan is what does its teachings have to say about Jesus or does it teach a way to salvation that contradicts the Bible.L ron hubbard wrote a book and founded a religion that "kills spiritually", Does that make him demon possessed?

Ultimately, whether merely inspired by him or directly given, it's source is of the devil, yes.Is the Koran demonic?
What about Christians supporting the war on Iraq? That is about killing.Murray wrote:I love histroy and sharing it. So let's get to it.
Muhammad was a general of a tribe of Arabians. He conquered, pillaged, and murdered other tribes. However, after conquering so much he needed a way to control them, now any smart man will figure out a nation with extreme differences in religion and culture will not succeed so he invented the Muslim religion, spread it through what he had conquered and continues to conquer throughout Arabia killing and beheading those that refused in some cases to accept his religion.
This is why some people refer to Muslim religion as a death cult, due to it's extemre emphasis on conquering and killing
