Mormonism exists because Joseph Smith Jr on September the 22nd 1823, said he found some "golden plates".
In September 1827 he brought them home, told everyone that angels had forbidden anyone but him from seeing them, and wrote into a book, (the book of mormon) his translations of the "reformed Egyptian" that was written on the plates. He then told everyone, that he had given the plates to some angels who took them away so now nobody can ever see them again.
He then formed a religion based on the book he wrote.
You see why people are sceptical yet?
(He also later wrote down some of the "reformed Egyptian" and it is a language that has never existed, and had no repeating characters. aka he definitely made it up.)
You're right. If he did go to school, he would have been educated in the periodic table... and that Gold is heavy. Therefore, he would have Known that the Gold tablets he "found" in his back yard would have weight about 500 LBS (Impossible for him to carry, or even lift), which would have caused him to not write them into the Book that you consider "Truth". SO, it does make perfect sense that an uneducated person would write (and believe) such a story.
Question: Have you ever done research on how the Mormon religion (or any religion) got started? If you seek the real truth... you'll become a skeptic... and then read your "Book"... and either be agnostic or atheist.
You are SO Indoctrinated. Take a look at your God/Book/Truth... a good close look...
Well before the plates thing he was very interested in religions, he went to church and he read the bible. I assume being able to read the bible implies he can read and presumably also write, furthermore;
"The Book of Mormon contains many linguistic similarities to the King James Bible. In some cases, entire passages are duplicated in the Book of Mormon.
Other significant connections between the two books include Book of Mormon words and phrases that only appear in their KJV usage, perpetuation of Bible passages considered by some scholars to have been mistranslated in the King James Version..."
So from that evidence I would say it is safe to assume he could read and write, and also that he just copied lots of the King James Bible.
I mean it could also be one enormous coincidence, but having even copied some of the mistranslated sections of the KJV bible, I think it's pretty clear it was plagiarism.
IIN that atheism really annoys me

I am sorry but I just don't see how a boy that never went to school could write a book like the book of mormon
