Vogel response to witnesses apologetics

[_Joey]

Can anyone explain why these guys spend so much time on what these witnesses supposedly saw?  What difference does it possibly make if no one can find evidence of Book of Mormon history?  Is this just a game to take focus off the real problem? Seems like it to me.

Great article by Vogel, but a different tone than I'm used to seeing from him, saying mean things about Sorenson. Accusing him of ad hominems when I don't see it and accusing him of being disingenuous when there's just different ways of looking at the evidence and trusting the sources. But it is a good educational piece on the evidence for and against the witnesses. I'm about 2/3rds way through, however, so maybe my opinion will change.

I'm not sure what you are alluding to with regard to Sorenson.

When it is almost all you got, you have to protect it. This is why they get so bent out of shape when others want to look at the whole picture of the 11 witnesses.
