And I have attended conferences with people getting really nutty against a guy who claimed the earth was shrinking, but focusing on their behavior wouldn't mean the victim's point was true. In fact, this is a typical tactic of cults...Jospeh Smith and Brigham Young used the Martyr Complex quite effectively, just like the Moonies did when they moved into my hometown a few decades ago and played the victim when they were shouted down at town meetings.

I couldn't catch what he was saying about Mark Hofmann--what picture? Was he trying to point out how the LDS church was fooled by Hofmann's forgeries for so long while they claimed to have divine inspiration (and the fact that they were so willing to cover up things that they saw as damaging to the church, rather than welcome the information as enlightening)? Was there a picture on his sign?

Speaking of Hill Cumorah, where are all of the artifacts from the millions who fought there so recently...250,000 casualties in bronze armor would surely have left some mark. Why won't the LDS church allow any examination such as GPR surveys, etc., to confirm the claims?

But, importantly, note...these aren't "attacks" at all. They are merely the listing of some of the many examples of why Mormonism is so demonstrably wrong in a factual historical sense.
