As i noted before, there is no real "conclusion" here because there never was a process or begining. Therefore, while i understand that you believe the Book of Abraham is a work of fiction, you have not argued nor presented any deliberation that would justify that belief as being a "conclusion"....much like the OP....at best, the OP might conclude that the poster has been unable to find "any pic" in a few yet-to-be-named "European" museums.
likely these museums: The Torture Museum in Amsterdam The British Lawnmower Museum Leeds Castle Dog-Collar Museum The Icelandic Phallological Museum The Hair Museum

your insincerity is revealed by your lack of concern with "why" should i proclaim a belief in the Book of Abraham as being non-fiction. your only concern being for the "why" should i disagree with you illustrates your antagonism and inability to actually discuss either position.

Now that you've gotten that out of your system, would you please answer my question as to whether you believe the Book of Abraham is a work of fiction? If you don't, why?

Yep, that's the dishonest little game you play here. Hint: picking the same cherry again doesn't mean you aren't cherry picking.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”

Yes, that and his hypocritical habit of dodging questions while asking everybody else to "Please provide evidence of..."
The mirror obviously disagrees with you.
