So what....?

Another anti-mormon book that entirely ignores LDS and Non-LDS scholarship as related to the Book of Abraham which would nearly in full debunk ALL of his claims against the Church.

Faqs,
Can you produce 1 decent piece of support for your claims of LDS or non LDS scholarship that supports the Book of Abraham.

Didn't think so.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Of course he can't. All he has are pro-Mormon lies.

Absolutely nothing of any apolgetic or academic value in that video. Did you actually watch it?

Why should I waste a couple of hours of my time collecting some evidence EVERY SINGLE TIME you idiots want it, when you will just ignore it anyway? You aren't interested in the truth and understanding, so why do you all bother here? Because it makes you feel good bashing those you view as "weaker". You're just bullies. Thus, no reason to waste my time unless I feel like it.

And don't say I "never" do provide evidences and rational, I do about 5% of the time.

Read some books on the Book of Abraham, read Kerry Shirts website and watch his videos on the subject.
You people are ostriches with heads in sand.

But, here's something that debunks several anti-mormon claims and provides some evidence of the Book of Abraham that I watched recently.....

Of course, you will stick head in sand as usual.


Do you have anything from a reputable, scholarly source?

You mean you weren't impressed at his assertion that LDS scholarship has "launched to the celestial"? Or that there are really big books written by Mormon scholars? You didn't find that convincing?

Honestly, some of the arguments used by Mormon apologists are so embarrassingly bad, they would be impossible to parody.

Better yet, if someone attempted to parody them, they would almost assuredly by accident produce better arguments.

Well we post links to a book by one of the recognized, top Egyptologists in the world. You posted a link to a fhe session, and not even the relevant one... Who is the idiot?

I don't have time to muddle through hours of feel good fhe videos. Post something of substance or go home.

Undeniable PROOF that you people are nothing but ignorant bigots and bullies.
