I had no idea who Dives was, and am not really interested in learning more after that episode lol.

And this time nobody can show up at his work and try to get him fired.

His internet name is Dives Lazarus from the book of Luke.

Ralph Vaughan Williams popularized a tune called Dives and Lazarus, which has since been borrowed into several classic ditties such as Star of the County Down, If You Could Hie to Kolob, and The Seven Joys of Mary by Loreena McKennitt.

Dives Lazarus was impersonating Bill Reel? Seriously?

Yeah. The evidence is pretty good. Dives needs to take a break for a few years from doing You Tube and go find himself.

I guess I unfriended him on Facebook at the right time.

Very few interact with him anymore. I feel sorry for him. He needs to just go away, find himself, and contribute positive things from now on. Gawd just leave Mormonism alone, it's a dead end. Find something else more fascinating and interesting like I did. It's an awfully lot more fun to do!

I am a big proponent of not letting one’s anger at the LDS Church turn one into an asshole. I speak from experience. I was headed down a bad path and realized it was not worth it. The best response to leaving the LDS Church is to live well and be decent.

I have never heard of a Dives Lazarus. Who is he and where does he fit in the mopologetic landscape?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

He runs a tiny YouTube channel called “Mormon News Roundup.” I believe he is ex Mormon.
