No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness. It's undeniable that Joseph Smith was a creative genius, but do his idiosyncrasies challenge our notions of his noble prophethood? "The public is wonderfully tolerant," said Oscar Wilde. "It forgives everything but genius." Perhaps as Latter-day Saints we'd do well to forgive or even extol Joseph's genius. How preferable to a whitewashed history!
