A yes, it wasn't the Book of Mormon, it was the book of plausible deniability. Did you have to look up the apologist response? I have a feeling you've never been a member of the church if you didn't know most members considered native americans to be lamanites. Most members? Have you polled “most m...

Never forget how hard the church fought for prop 8 in 2008.

I guess persecution complex makes the world look like that.

I understand if you've never been Mormon, but if you are going to discuss it I insist that you learn the basics about it.
