"...and outright spouts Mormon lies about Christian history (like the Dead Sea Scrolls fiasco).

I hadn't heard about that. Can you fill me in? Unless you are referring to the fact that Joseph Smith added SO MUCH to Isaiah 29 in his Bible to make everyone believe that the B of M was the book to come forth. When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered Isaiah was the most complete scroll and it read pretty much like the KJV and none of what Joseph's bible verses were in the Scrolls.

Last year, Beck made a statement on his radio show that caused a bit of a dust up. He stated that the DSS were because Constantine was killing anyone who disagreed with him. Besides being completely wrong, it is also VERBATIM Mormon standard response about why the Apostles creed is corrupt and the Bible is not trustworthy and Mormon versions of Early Church History as to why there needed to be a ‘restoration’ by Joseph Smith.

Here is the quote in full...

the Dead Sea Scrolls, you know what they are? … So here’s what happened. When Constantine decided that he was going to cobble uh together an army, he did the um Council of Nicaea, right, Pat? (Pat: Yea.) The Council of Nicaea, and what they did is brought all of the religious figures uhh together, all the Christians and they said, “Ok, let’s put together the Apostles’ Creed, let’s you know, you guys do it.” So they brought all their religious scripture together, that’s when the Bible was first bound and everything else. And then they said, “Anybody who disagrees with this is a heretic and off with their head!” Well, that’s what the Dead Sea Scrolls are. They are those scriptures that people had at the time that and they said, “They are destroying all of this truth.” Whether it’s truth or not is up to the individual, but at that time those people thought that this was something that needed to be preserved and so they rolled up the scrolls and put them in clay pots and they, they put them in the back of caves where no one could find them. They were hidden scripture because everything was being destroyed that disagreed with the Council of Nicaea and Constantine. That’s what those things are.

I think the mormon Empire found one word in the DSS that sounded like ONE NAME in the BoM.

They yelled, "AHHA!", claimed that PROVED the bom was true; and are clinging tightly to it as they swirl in faster and faster circles down the drain.
