It’s amazing (well maybe not so much) that you are able to concisely explain how the Book of Mormon was created whilst at the same time ignoring all that has been written to the contrary that would poke holes in your one sentence shrink wrapped conclusion. And critics criticize believers for suppos...

*snip whole post Have you no shame? 80-90% of your responses to me are large volume cut and pastes. For being such a smart person (you do work in the academy from what I seem to remember) you sure do some dumb things.
