Well everyone loves anniversaries and I just noticed this one. It's been one year to the day since charity typed this famous number:

Now I know what you're thinking, charity has produced so much quotable material, why mention this Bond? Well no reason (except I'm snowed in and thus am feeling frisky in my posting habits) except that this quote (particularly the bolded part) has survived in my signature for one year, quite an achievement for someone as fickle as I am with my sig. So lets all place hands on belly and laugh again as charity boneheads it up.

charity wrote:We start with the knowledge that the Book of Mormon is ancient scripture translated by Joseph Smith by the power of God. Exactly how the scripture originated (what was reformed Egyptian, where did Nephi live, how did Moroni get the plates to New York state) does not matter.
We find it interesting to consider those questions, but it doesn't matter. And we have fun with various theories that are proposed, with various scholarly studies that give information and suggestions about evidences.
Since we have sure knowledge via the Spirit, if someone produces some little bit that goes against what we know, we can let it roll of our backs like water off a duck. It doesn't phase us. We can be patient. Whatever appears to be against the Book of Mormon is going to be overturned at some time in the future. So we can be pretty open minded.
