If you feel that someone can categorise the Book of Mormon as "imaginative fiction", and still be considered pro-Mormon, no wonder some on MADB think you're heading to apostasy. Forgive me if I have this wrong, but from what I've read on MADB it seems your line of questioning on some subjects has ruffled a few feathers.
Understanding that Harold Bloom is not a Mormon, he brings to the subject a respect and congenial spirit that I cannot help but consider to be "pro-Mormon."
More and more some of the people at MADB are less of the opinion I am heading toward apostasy as concluding I have already arrived.
I guess I'm just an equal-opportunity feather-ruffler.
Thanks for noticing.
All the Best!
