Again the word "Evidences" in the title and again nothing even coming close... This is just getting pathetic, buddy. You know, I've noticed that the word "Mormon" is very close to the word "Moron". I've often wondered if Joe Smith wasn't a con-man with a sense of humour. He must have asked himself while writing this garbage "I wonder how many morons will actually believe this crap?" The answer is, unfortunately, a lot. The play on the word "moron" was clearly an inside joke on the part of Joe.

In other words, it is beyond your particular intellect to refute anything or deal with any evidences at all.....thanks for showing your utter ineptitude about everything.

Do you even care that you are making an "ass" out of yourself by trying to make someone believe that bogus story (Book Of Mormon) is "true"...

@JSeely218

To some, even Shakespeare is junk..... your bias doesn't offend me whatever. I can't please everyone, so it is irrelevant to me what you think personally of me.

"The book is its own proof. All we need to do is read it and declare it! "

That is about the most ass-backward logic i've seen in a while.

This is laughable hackery....

@mattdawg83686 Therefore the claim that their “principal” ancestors were immigrants from Israel stands as obviously and unequivocally false. In addition, the BOM mentions horses, elephants, wheat, chariots... None of which existed in the Americas at the time the BOM was set. No independent source of information can be found about these people and events. The only source is one book written by one man. Logically, we have to conclude that the BOM is fiction and Joe Smith is a con-man.

@mattdawg83686 We can find stone tools, burials, etc of some of the first people to have set foot on this continent but nothing of this great civilization talked about in the Book of Mormon. How can that be possible? It isn't. Also, the Book of Mormon states explicitly that the Lamanites are the principal ancestors of the American Indians. Yet out of the 7,500 Native Americans who have had their DNA tested, 99% show Asian heritage and 0% show Middle Eastern heritage.

[veritasEtjusticia]

@mattdawg83686 However, the Book of Mormon tells us just six centuries earlier a climactic battle between fair-skinned Nephites and dark-skinned Lamanites ended a millennial dominion by a literate, Christian, Bronze Age civilization with a population numbering in the millions. Yet not a single trace of this civilization can be found anywhere.

@mattdawg83686 Facts... Let me start by repeating some points I made to the nutty professor: Ten centuries ago a handful of Norse sailors slipped into Newfoundland, established small colonies, traded with local natives, then sailed back into the fog of history. In spite of the small scale of their settlements and the brevity of their stay, unequivocal archaeological evidence of their presence has been found.

[mattdawg83686]

@veritasEtjusticia Present to me the facts. Where are you getting your info from? You should be able to point me in that direction at least. You sound just like all the other anti's I've spoken to and they couldn't show me any of their evidence either or who to talk to. You just can't make blanket statements and then not back them up. What facts are you talking about? You should be able to present those to in an objective way. Thank you.

[veritasEtjusticia]

@mattdawg83686 Actually, I have read some of the BOM. Look, facts are facts... you can pretend that they don't exist. You can pretend that it's all false infrmation from anti-mormons but you're only just kidding yourself. Any rational person looking at all the facts has to conclude that the BOM is a work of fiction written by a con-man. People who remind you of the facts aren't bullies, they just can stand seeing gulible people being taken in by obvious lies...

[mattdawg83686]

@veritasEtjusticia First and foremost, you haven't even read the book. All you done is allow naysayers and narrowminded so-called experts on nothing influence your mind and you haven't even made a choice for yourself to find out. I see you have been well trained by the best the anti movement has to offer. Bullies are bullies, and here they're no different. True Christians don't act like you and others act. God is the ultimate judge no you. Take it up with Him.

[veritasEtjusticia]

@mattdawg83686 Evidence for.....? That the Book of Mormon is a work of fiction? Well, there's tons of that and of course there is the complete lack of evidence to support the crazy stories in the BOM. There are the anachronisms in the BOM, like horses, wheat, metal, etc. And there is the fact that there is no archeological evidence to support the idea that the civilization described in the BOM ever existed... be specific and I will answer...

[mattdawg83686]

@veritasEtjusticia Where is your evidence sir? I'm guessing you're trying to debate here. Well, in order to debate, you have to have some evidence available that the person you are challenging can look at which will help you prove what you are saying. You haven't done that here. So again, where is your evidence sir?
