You remind me of the guy who read parts of the Bible and went around saying it is a silly work of fiction and only idiots would buy into it. Nothing but a crutch for simple-minded people to lean on. A bunch of morons.
Blah blah blah
They says the same stuff about The Book of Mormon and members of my Church. We’re used to it. It only serves to strengthen our testimonies in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in our Church. Amen.
Your analogy doesn't hold up, because "the guy who read parts of the Bible" is rejecting it based upon portions of its CONTENT.
By stark contrast, I lay actual content aside, and reject the Book of Mormon based entirely upon its nakedly fraudulent LINGUISTICS.
The Book of Mormon is a work translated in the early 1800's in America that somehow failed to be written in 19th Century American English. Worse, the pretension to 17th Century English is so embarrassingly dismal; how can anyone insist the book is to be taken seriously without blushing?
Had the first English translation of the Bible been produced in the United States in 2011, is there any sane person who thinks it would have been published in a shoddy style of language pretending to that of the early 19th Century; the American English of Noah Webster? Of course not; that would be absurd! What person in their right mind would expect anyone to believe a word of such a sham? And yet, that is the same as what has been done with the Book of Mormon; it was translated in the early 19th Century, but written in a form of English pretending to be that which had been out of common use for some 200 years!
So it is that I adjudge the Book of Mormon is transparently fraudulent; a barenaked hoax, balderdash, poppycock, pure bunkum and tummyrot. It is — quite literally — unbelievable.
