Why MORMONISM isn't true!

Yeah, a touchy subject for many people, I know. But I just have to spill out what I've learned.
First off, I don't know why so many people still choose to follow this religion. It seems like children are brainwashed into believing what their parents spoon-feed them.
The Church of Latter Day Saints was created by a man named Joseph Smith Jr. in 1827 after he announced to the town folk of Manchester, New York, that an angel (Moroni) had told him the location of several GOLDEN tablets or plates. Yeah. Supposedly, Moroni told him that they were in his backyard! WOW!

Ok, I'm just gonna give a little background on this Moroni guy. He is said to be the same person as the Book of Mormon "prophet-warrior" named Moroni who was the last to write in these tablets. Wait a second, lemme get this straight, he was a character in the Book of Mormon which had yet to be written, by Joseph Smith Jr.? Fishy... Anyway, Moroni was said to have buried these GOLDEN tablets before he died, but after a battle with two pre-Columbian civilizations. After he died, he was resurrected, became an angel, and was tasked with guarding his very own tablets! Sweet.

Back to the story. As a young man in the 1820's, Joseph Smith Jr. owned at least two "seer stones," which he had earlier employed for treasure seeking before he founded the church. Wait, that makes no sense! The practice of using rocks to find things by magic, YES MAGIC, is called scrying. Although scrying is most commonly practiced using a crystal ball, it can be done with just about anything, so they say. Joseph Smith Jr. was using rocks he placed in his top hat as a young man to find treasure, which drives us to the conclusion that he was using the process of scrying. Ok, now he later describes to us that he used his stones (which he called seer stones in the Book of Mormon (which he wrote)) to translate the GOLDEN tablets INTO the Book of Mormon.
Still following me? He used SCRYING to translate his golden plates which he was led to with the help of an angel named Moroni. Wait, scrying is the process of using magic. Ok, so unless you believe in magic, he made up the Book of Mormon? NOOO, IT CAN'T BE!
Oh yes it's true my friends. Unless I'm seriously missing a major point, which I could probably disprove in a few minutes, this is why Mormonism isn't a true religion. It doesn't matter what the Book of Mormon says. Joseph Smith Jr. used seer stones to translate the golden tablets into the Book of Mormon. Now you can't use the Book of Mormon to disprove me, as it is itself a discreditable source.

On another note, Brigham Young, a name you might have heard of, was a polygamist (married more than 1 woman) who led a group of Mormans to the Salt Lake Valley in Utah after Joseph Smith Jr.'s death in 1844. Now tell me this, if Mormons believe in Jesus Christ and God, how could Brigham Young be a man after God's will if he married more than 1 woman? (making a reference to the Lord's Prayer, in which it says "Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven") He founded Salt Lake City, Utah around July 24th, 1847. He was president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1847 until his death on August 29th, 1877 (age 76). Brigham Young University (BYU) was named in his honor.
