I agree with you asciikerr, put not to worry the mormon faith has been adequately bashed here in the past Without representation. EvC is equal opportunity.

The BoM and the Bible both are fraught with problems that can not be waved away. That is unless you are indoctrinated to the point of being a zealot. Some are willing at any cost in the hopes of perserving they're faith to digest every word without question. The problem is, IMO, if one faith is THE ONE TRUE FAITH. Then everybody else is swinging in the wind. One can not have it both ways. I have an idea, lets form a religion that picks up where the New Testament leaves off that way we can have our ready made religion and have the ability to alter the text as we see fit. Oh,, it's been done. Darn.
