Default The Book of Mormon

I started a thread awhile ago asking for information basically debunking Mormonism. I got some good responses! Thx guys!

Now I would like to know if any of you have any REALLY good sources of information talking about the archeology of The Book of Mormon and why it does/does not work.

I admit I have yet to read The Book of Mormon for more than about 5 minutes but from what I'm told it talks a lot about a people that lived in North America some 1000+ years ago.

Any infomation would be appreciated! Thx. =)

I don't know much about Mormonism but this looks like a pretty good site. Lots of links to criticisms of the Book of Mormon, ex-Mormon testimonials, etc.

Believe it or not, some Christian organizations have done a fine job of literally shredding Mormon cosmology and theology. As well, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price.

Granted, it is done within the context of Evangelical Christianity, but some fine research nonetheless.

Now if only they would apply it to the Bible! :banghead:

Actually, if you want great refutations of Christianity and how Jesus failed to fulfill Messianic prophesies, look at the Jewish refutations. Great stuff. Nothing like a rabbi to tell you what the Hebrew words REALLY mean.
