Zone1 Attacks on Joseph Smith Have All Gone Astray

[Cougarbear]

Joseph Smith really did translate the Book of Mormon. From the beginning, haters have tried to come up with reasons it isn't the work of the Lord through the Prophet Joseph Smith. All have been rejected and the Book is True. Enjoy this short video.

The Book of Mormon is the long prophesied Stick of Ephraim or Stick of Joseph mentioned in Ezekiel 38.

The problem with Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon story is that there is no way to verify his story.

Expecting people just to take his word for it, that he found the gold plates in western New York and that he translated them correctly from the Reformed Egyptian.

Using the principle of Occam's Razor, it just seems a lot more likely that Mr. Smith just wrote and edited the work himself, with the help of his cronies because he was interested in starting his own religion.

European settlers had recently come across the massive earthen mounds of the Midwest. The native Americans had no memory of them being built and, it being 'obvious' that the primitives there could not have built them, it was easy to believe that a 'lost' tribe of Whites were the architects. Just like in the Book of Mormon.

The entire question of where the Indians came from and how they got to America was a question a lot of honkies had. The theorem propositioned by the BoM wasn't the only one.

Someone at the LDS church took that advice, our local Mormons are armed to the teeth and have their own range on church property. Lots of Class III toys too.
