Read Book 1 if you are brave enough at all.
Personally it a struggle for the LDS not respond in kind at times after so many years of this recyle canards, stawman, and taking things out of context which their in most cases cut and paste!

My reply to you nesnah, Read the Book of Mormon with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ:)

It seem none of the critics have ever read the Book of Mormon with a sincere heart, So many take another word of others or X-er's or what ever a stranger post on the internet about the LDS.
But for the life of me I have no clue why A FEW OF YOU who are not on the receiving end of ridicule, issue one hostil post after another?
Did you not ever here of civility?
You have rididcule when I having off days posting (due to dyslexia), mocking my use of exclamation marks!
You have asked questions and than impationtly answered them with sarcam never gave a thought the person might have been called away!
Have a pleasant day, nesnah.
