Mopologist accidentally proves Book of Mormon anachronism

Post by Tapir Rodeo »

In this clip Travis Anderson accidentally provides a historical and logical standard which proves the Book of Mormon contains an anachronistic reference to skin color while Robert Boylan looks on in silence, seemingly struggling to keep both eyes open.

I could be wrong but I think they are saying it isn't racist to say that because they didn't have a concept of racial discrimination so it means something else. Like countenance or skins and my favorite tatoos.

Anderson asserted that any form of "labeling skin color" as black or white would be anachronism. The Book of Mormon clearly labels skin color using black and white in the passage that was cited.

I forget about Travis Anderson. I think most people do.

Thanks for reminding us that he exists, I hope to forget it again shortly.

I hope he gets just enough attention to get smacked down by someone with a bigger YouTube channel, then fades back into obscurity.
