Stephen168, what do you expect is going to happen? Do you expect to receive a heretofore never yet experienced insight that will cast the scales from your eyes and you return to the Mormon fold? Do you expect to devise some kind of devastating artifice to destroy my faith? I can’t find faith for you and you can’t loose mine. To what purpose?

St. Peter our first Pope asked us to be ready to defend our faith. The great beauty of Catholicism is that it is so easy do. Faith and Reason is a wonderful gift the Catholic Church has for us. I’ve never been at a loss to defend my Church.

In addition to the OP, I have asked these two questions:

Which Catholic Bishop did you asked to find out if the Book of Mormon was true? Which Christian history book did you read, printed before 1810, to find out if the Book of Mormon was true?

But sometimes tough love is needed. Most of us here feel like we are just talking to a wall because regardless of proof, we are made out to be anti-mormon and are attacking the lds. Attacking would be something like making up a story or the person(s) character. We dont do that. We get our sources from their books and we are made out to be bad people in their eyes for providing facts to them.

Surely, if what is contained in the Book of Mormon reflects objective reality, then it can be discussed as such and defended as such. Otherwise, if you think it’s all relative and you have your truth and I have mine then we might have a rather different picture of Mormonism.

It’s the Mormon tactic of, “answer the question you think should have been asked, not the question that was actually asked”. Keep it vague. Act like you know an important secret, and maybe someone will think you do.

I don’t know how they think anyone can take them seriously.

Here is the bottom line:

There is NO geographical proof to the B of M accepted by any non- LDS geographers.
But there IS geographical proof to the Bible accepted by non-Catholic and Non Christian geographers.

There is NO Archaeological proof to the B of M accepted by any non- LDS archaeologists
But there IS Archaeological proof to the Bible accepted by non-Catholic and Non Christian archaeologists

There is NO linguistic proof to the B of M accepted by any non- LDS linguists
But there IS linguistic proof to the Bible accepted by non-Catholic and Non Christian linguists

There is NO historical proof to the B of M accepted by any non- LDS historians
But there IS historical proof to the Bible accepted by non-Catholic and Non Christian historians

There is NO scientific proof to the B of M accepted by any non- LDS scientists
But there IS scientific proof to the Bible accepted by non-Catholic and Non Christian scientists

LDS “Prophets” teach one thing
Later teach some thing different.

LDS prophets break the law and lie about it

LDS prophets give conflicting doctrine

LDS god changes his mind constantly, especially in matters of money.

Is this a church you want to put your faith in?

Me personally? No. But I’m trying to encourage the mormon posters to respond to the topic.

Frankly, I’m starting to wonder if Mormonism isn’t infected with a great dose of relativism.

The thing is they cant. They are in an untenable position. They cant give a reasoned defense.

Just one of the many stereotypes we see from these posters I am afraid.

Not sure, but I might have pointed it out earlier in this thread. Or was it the thread from mcmullan about how former mormon’s pray.

If archaeologists find a spider-man comic book in 1000 years, would they be right to conclude that spider-man was real because New York City was real?

Seriously? You are trying to compare finding a comic book to finding remnants of a city and bones from a people?

seriously?

Science would know they had a book that was 1000 years old, it is fiction, and there is/was a place called New York. They would also now that exact location of New York.

Science knows the Book of Mormon is a 19th century work of fiction.

This. Science has clearly demonstrated that.
Mormons are discouraged from using reason.
