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.

The beginning was priceless. 'after drinking copious amounts of coffee, I will now read EVERY CUSS WORD IN WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, starting in 3, 2, 1.....OK. Now that my Mormon listeners are gone, I want to talk to the rest of you about this book...'

Wonderful link. Young guy says, "I am not an expert, I am not a scholar." "And I've read the Book of Mormon one time!"

Awesome.

Lost me, right there.

You thought he was pretty cool?

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.
You would be surprised. In this instance, however, I do appreciate the 'nudge' IHQ gave me. I'm hoping to hear from Dr. Tour. That would be kind of cool. :)

By the way, TTOC means "Turn The Other Cheek". If I fail to respond to your false innuendo's, etc., it saves a LOT of time to punch in four letters. :lol:

It is. The guy's pretty interesting to listen to--and he had some great thoughts at the end.
