The Book of Mormon has had plenty of corrections, although they might not have fixed those parts (yet.)
“What could have possibly provided the basis for a change in the church’s century old doctrine?”
It became inconvenient? Don’t ask me, but they did make some sustantial changes on race at that time.
Some of the Mormon teachings are pretty strange, but I think there is also a large percentage that don’t care about the details and like the family atmosphere.
The research of the faith came up because my son and I felt it necessary to learn more of a group of people we have occasional interaction with and now might control the White House.
The GOP wants to lose this election. It's openly obvious now and we must resist, kicking and screaming to no end.
We cannot permit them to nominate romney or we are over.
Romney will be destroyed via hundreds of 30 second sound bytes on sections from the book of mormon. Doesn't matter what we know, it's the people who didn't research and never will who will be lead by these attacks to form a negative opinion.
Those who do research will find little to counter the attacks. Much of the attacks will be shown to be based on fact.
It will be the end of romney's campaign. The institutionalized discrimination of the church is too much, too recent, too incorporated into the doctrine to be hidden and completely, totally indefensible.
