I imagine you read one or more books in 2023. Think of your favorite one of those. Now, think of a book you read 22 years earlier, back in 2001. When you read the more recent one, did it contaminate your memory of the one from 2001, to the point that you thought the former's principal characters ha...

Consistency and coherence are irrelevant to you? Weird that you didn't quote me. Almost like you're scared! :D Scared?? Umm, no. My response was directly after yours, so that plus the context made it clear to whom I was responding. That the primary events of the Book of Mormon took place in the Ame...

I’m not calling you out; I’m genuinely curious.

Shades, I can tell you how these people could have experienced memory contamination: Spalding’s writing sucks. It is boring as hell, and as tedious as parts of the Book of Mormon can be, its opening chapters are much more engaging than Spalding’s extant work. So if an author’s two works are boring,...

So, was I wrong, and you indeed are NOT buying into the mopologetic B.S. that the trunk manuscript and Manuscript Found are the same thing? It is the manuscript we have. That doesn't answer the question. Just because we have a manuscript doesn't mean it's the same as another manuscript that is miss...
