Joseph Smith told us that the Book of Abraham was written in something he called “Reformed Egyptian.”

He “translated” those scrolls in English, but had no idea that a short while later that particular ancient text would be truly understood.

After all of that, the texts turn out to be ancient Egyptian funeral documents.

So now, the LDS have to come with some other concocted story to say that it was not actually a translation, but a revelation. Really?

He even mislabeled the characters drawn on the scroll. It’s really ridiculous that anyone can believe this stuff.

I’m more than prepared to give several examples of the misidentified characters.

Mormonism is a feelings-based cult, not a fact-based belief.

This is why mormonic missionaries first try to get you off the ground of biblical facts and onto the ground of feelings.

Not really.

When your entire existance is BASED on believing this 'stuff'; the mind will conjure up all kinds of reasons to continue doing so.
