Bzzzzztttttt. We do believe in the Bible, specifically the King James
version. We do however see the Book of Mormon as an additional text to
the bible, as with the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great
Price.. But like you, and I can see that you are open minded, I don't
care to discuss it with the bigotshere...

One of the articles of faith in Mormonism is: "We believe in the bible as
far as it is correctly translated." That allows throwing out anything that
contradicts Mormondom.

The "historical" underpinnings of the Book of Mormon transcend the
bizarre.

Which book of Mormon are you referring to? There has been scores of
versions, revised from the previous to make up for some error. If it is
prophesy, there are no errors. Bibles have different "versions", but they
don't rewrite things they disagree with.

Careful readers might note I made no comment on the Book(s) of Mormon or
their iterations, but, rather, the historical underpinnings of the work.
Joseph Smith claimed he translated the work from a set of ancient golden
plates he found in New York State after an angel told him where to look.
Many scholars claim the work was plagarized, and give comparative sources.

Then there is the business of Jesus visiting native Americans.


Hey, believe whatever you want, right?

Yes, even though the American Indians took issue with the church, and there
were extensive DNA tests done. Results of which somehow quietly went away

I don't think it's a good thing to compete with underdeveloped nations
for the most savagery and violence.

You seem to think that is all we do here in America.

Seems to be showing up a lot in the paper, every day.

Economic stress is not helping.

Well, Pollyanna, what would YOU do? I mean, besides taking everyone's
guns
and other liberties and having ID numbers stenciled on the inside of the

****in' well arm everybody Steve. Elementary schoolers need
protection from bullies on the playground. If a kid wants your lunch
money, blast 'em!

Putting guns in everyone's hands is a recipe for disaster. If you
don't recognize that you're ****ing stupid.

Now you have me confused. In the first sentence of the first paragraph, you
say arm everyone. Then in the second paragraph, you contradict yourself.
You are wearing me down. Are you on drugs?

That's because you're too ****ing dense to recognize sarcasm.

I'm sure the Mormons have baptized thousands of American Indians

Reminds me of the Christian missionaries who would chase oboriginals

the name of Jesus.

They're all fruitcakes.
