You cannot win an argument with a Mormon. They are thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that opposition is confirmation. You can spend days pointing out the gaping holes in their doctrine (hint, it is not based on the Book of Mormon), the many ludicrous events in the Book of Morman, the tens of thousands of edits, deletions, and additions to their scripture in a vain attempt to make it coherent, and all you’ll do is convince them that they’re right.

Why don't they ask you to read and pray about the OTHER scriptures that they have??

Perhaps not convincing them, but by exposing the contradictions of the Book of Mormon and its other "scriptures " with the Bible (and each other ) you can win the argument, thus showing others the fallacious nature of their elitist church, by the grace of God.

Another reason to post is the effect on morale for others. It is important for others to see comments they agree with, lest it seem the whole world has gone insane (i.e. preaching to the choir has great value).
