Real Mormon history is much more interesting!

Too bad it became taboo to be so forthright, because now this is a faith-jarring shocker to so many members. Real history is always messy and we never have all the information to make perfect sense of it. In matters of real importance to our lives, our job is to give things a fair hearing before we make judgements. Whitewashed history is OK for children, but in order to have mature faith, we need to put away the simplified version and wrestle with uncomfortable realities.
