If the Book of Mormon falls, so does Joseph Smith's claims to priesthood authority and prophethood. Then again, the Book of Mormon isn't on trial, it's readers are.

Anyhow, what contradictory doctrine is still in the D&C? I coulda sworn they removed the Lectures on Faith long ago ;)

Heh-heh - you said "Sex 132." That's funny.

I think time travel and warped space-time can go a long ways to letting you believe anything you want, including that you are your own grandpa . . .
