The skeptic's Annotated Book of Mormon

Post by _Mephitus »

There was a thread on RFM on how to notate your Book of Mormon the ExMo way, and someone posted this link.

Im going to mark my dusty Book of Mormon this way and give it as a gift to my parents as kind of a "comming out" as they still think im just innactive.

Thoughts?

Wow... thanks for this link! Whomever put this together is pretty amazing!

I would like to see a Book of Mormon with little apologetic notations... for example:

When the topic of the Nephites building a temple like unto Solomon's Temple there could be a little note: actually this is an exaggeration. It was just a little hut for about 10-20 people without gold.

Or...

When the Book of Mormon states the land was saved and no one else lived there a note could state: for a space of maybe 1 or 2 square miles.

Or...

When the Book of Mormon discusses the wars where millions of people died a note could state: actually there were only about a thousand Nephites total so the "war" was mostly likely a couple dozen men on each side.

I think it would help folks get a better sense of things...

This is one of my favorite sites. Not only does it have the Book of Mormon, but also the Bible and Koran. Last I checked they were still finishing up the Book of Mormon, but I loved the several ways of searching the site.
