Book of Mormon geography stirring controversy

Then tell us where Zarahemla or Bountiful is.

Can you tell us where the real Mt Sinai is?

Relay to us where this museum of Book of Mormon archaeological artifacts is located,

Just as soon as you tell me how we are supposed to recognise BoM artifacts.

where according to David B., there is more physical evidence for the Book of Mormon than the Bible.

it is one thing for you to blather on and on, but I don't take too kindly to people misrepresenting statements by my friends.

If you think my understanding is so deficient, then here's your opportunity to play the teacher.

I've tried many times. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water...

Don't just sit there and throw rocks.

I'm not in the habit of sitting back when they are thrown at me.

Prove yourself by providing something, that if exhibited in a court of law, would win the day.

We are dealing with history, not evidence required by courts of law. You've just validated (again) my judgment of your understanding of all the above mentioned items.

If you can't do that, then attacking me won't make your case either.

You don't listen, so the best crafted argument would fail.

But, why would anyone disbelieve in the historical verity of the BoM, if what it reports is a genuine piece of historical fact?

You've never heard of Holocaust deniers have you?

Excellent! And I think it is equally sad. So much time, money, and effort is being wasted on trying to turn fiction into non-fiction, but why? The reasons are probably legion, but one of them isn't a pursuit of the truth. And that's what makes it even more sad.

Fred, it is extremely hypocritical of you to talk about searches for truth as if you were involved in such yourself.

Actually, I'll say, your link doesn't work. Then I'll say, why can't you just point me to the sources that will win the day for you?

Sorry about that. Try this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

Your posts contain a few of these, so it can be very difficult to answer some of your questions, and can put us in no win-no win situations. If we're put in a no win-no win situation, it would actually be foolish to answer your questions.

This might not be intentional on your part, but you may want to try and use less of these if you want your questions to be answered.

I think all Mormons should just accept the fact that the Book of Mormon does not deal with reality, that it is not even good fiction, and that whether it's Meldrum, Ash, or whoever believing to the contrary needs to get a life

Then tell us where Zarahemla or Bountiful is. Rel

IF one knows not were Zarahemla or Bountiful is, does that meant that the BoM is false?

Yeah we are just deluded idiots and your here to set us free. Something in this thread is indeed sad.

Fred believes the bible because it has been verified through archaeology and history. But Fred wont tell you is that he rejects the D&C whcih can be more redily verified and is more recent than the bible.

Tell me Fred, how does knowing were Jerusalem is make Jesus resurrection true?

Science has yet to verify the resurrection and I dare say that it hasn't proved that.
