I’ve read the BOM. It is an utter work of pure fiction. I was considering becoming a Mormon back around 1979. A little studying shut that down real quick. A lot of studying and decades later I am, frankly, amazed at how many actually intelligent people believe this thing with absolutely no proof whatsoever.

Don’t get me wrong. Christianity is all about faith. But not BLIND faith.

Christianity, as Paul pointed out in many ways through out his writings is a religion of both faith and reason.

The intangibles like is God really God and does he really exist, is Jesus truly the son of God and the like are the only things we should have to apply faith to, and even those things can also be argued with some reason and logic.

We should not have to take on faith that there was a Rome, a Red Sea, a Herod etc.
