As for my comment that Joseph Smith is smart, I don't think he was genuine. I think he was a conman. Conmen are usually pretty smart.
As for Paul, I don't disagree that he has some poetic moments, but "The Wisdom of man is foolishness to God" is hardly original and doesn't really prove anything about the man. Plenty of verses like that in the Old Testament.
"All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,for his molten images are deceitful, and there is no breath in them." -Jeremiah 51:17
However, to Joseph Smith's credit, there are some phenomenal verses in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Again, mostly ripped off, but beautiful and poetic, if not faith inspiring, nonetheless.
