Sorry, I haven't read every post in this topic, so my question may already have been answered.

Why would he do that if the plates were merely a prop? Are you suggesting that all of the stuff that went on in regards to the plates previous t...

And realizing that you need to imagine them gets you a long way along the road to disbelief in the whole enterprise - in my opinion, if you are willing to do the thought experiment of imaging that they never existed, you're pretty much at the end of that road. malkie, I can imagine that the plates ...

I would think the seer stone did that. The plates were never needed. Needed? I guess in some absolute sense no but they function as a witness to the people who were supposed to have written the story over thousand years ago from their people's records of marvelous events and demonstrations of God. ...

I know I always hope my experiences will be of help to others. Thank you malkie, I was half asleep replying last night and blended the two responses together.

What does "{{{pirate}}}}" mean?

The { } around a name is a sign for a virtual comforting hug. I hope you'll accept it in the spirit in which it is intended.
