It's a bit convenient isn't it that the angel just happened to visit the same day this "prophet" needed to have a message ready for the congregation? I suspect also that this "prophet" had developed the outline of the message before the angel came and reveled to him the very things he's probably been preparing to speak on all along. In other words, no, I don't think he is telling the truth.

Why ? It could both be true ! The Angel visited him, and the prophet made a revelation to the angel .

For if he had been, the Angel Moroni never would have taken the risk of enthrusting him with the Golden Plates❗"

Difficult to know did he really experience that. However, the message is basically the same that is in the Bible already, earthquakes, wars...

And about Macron, I think the birthday is not necessary any problem, worse thing is how he acts like a tyrant and despises people that don't submit to his fascism.

I suppose many people may believe this outlandish tale. I'm glad to not be one of them.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.
