Thank you for sharing links to important things about Book of Mormon geography that interest you. Anyone here is more than welcome to check them out and research the material therein to their heart’s content. As for me, I will no longer read apologetic source material from a faithful perspective with the intent to match the lands to a map that meets expectations for a genuine and historical perspective in order to support a nonfiction narrative. You see, it’s like asking the Pope to read a priesthood manual produced by the LDS Church or asking President Nelson to read Catechism of the Catholic Church in order to improve Church doctrine. Both are directly opposed. The same goes for the end result of the Book of Mormon: Fiction vs. Nonfiction!
I’m absolutely through with the apologists and their faith promoting ways. They have blinders on and are trying to make it work from a faithful point of view which is an impossible task from the fiction point of view. It can’t be done because the Book of Mormon *is* fiction and the Church is not what it claims to be. Reading apologetic material may be useful for some but not for me. I’m sure there are things I could pick up and learn and I for one do make mistakes and my work in this thread is not perfect, I will admit that. It needs further work and fine tuning. I certainly grant that. But I will not waste any more time reading faithful garbage from a testimony point of view. Eight billion people on planet earth don’t want that either. They want the real answer, not just apologetic excuses and contradictions. I really do not care what the apologists say or think let alone faithful members of the Church who cling to the Book of Mormon as if it’s genuine history. My target of interest is the world at large -- eight billion people. The Mormons can drown in their dreams for all I care.
