You should send James a copy of The Book of Mormon, challenge him to read it and pray about it so that he can learn it’s truthfulness. Then return and report with his reaction to it (given that he meets with Jesus in person he’s in a good position to verify if it’s the real deal or not).
Will you do that MG? If not, why not?
He doesn't do anything real that's related to his posting here. And his talk of the meaningfulness of religion is just the cover he uses so he can disparage a group of people he hates and stereotypes.
Case in point, he calls it "arrogant and disrespectful" to "negate" a person's religious experience, right after he 'negates' critics with a group ad hom and a stereotyping speculation:
"...critics (who may not have the equivalent scientific training) take it upon themselves to be 'authorities' in matters of which they may not have expertise."
Those speculations are a specialty of the Wasatch front passive aggressive style. After all, he can defend it by saying he didn't
really say a whole group has no 'expertise' (because of course he has no knowledge of that), he just
speculated that they don't. Using this technique allows one to pretend to oneself, I suppose, that they really are trying to be a good person, while trolling a forum.

A never-Mo atheist decided to read the Book of Mormon from as neutral a place as you can expect. His glowing review?
“Like chewing flavorless gum for a month.”
As much as DCP loves to harp on the witnesses to the Book of Mormon, he has to crawl, stumble, and peer meekly over the giant boulder that is the non-Mormon apathy to this wet rag. Shakespeare it is not.

I like your alternate take on that metaphor:
"...he has to crawl, stumble, and peer meekly over the giant boulder that is the non-Mormon apathy to this wet rag..."
