Yes Mormonism was started by a conman, yes it's utter bullshit, no it's not any weirder than the canonical Abrahamic religions.

There's a dude who parted the sea with his magic snake stick. Actually happened. People believe it.

Burning bush, speaking with the voice of the creator of existence, 100% true. Really, does that sound less ridiculous than Joseph's magic golden tablets?

How about Jesus?

Died and came back to life.

Healed the sick.

Replicated food and drink. Walked on water, and turned it into wine when he felt like showing off.

Less ridiculous?

Not in any way.
