He shared their story of how their prophet obtained and translated the plates. The plates were delivered to him on the back of a magical bug, If I recall correctly. Several LDS laughed at how silly it was, and how could anyone believe such nonsense. Some read a portion of the translation and declared it bad writing, ridiculous that anyone could believe it inspired.
I wish I had the link to share, but I can't find it. Gad used to have the link and shared it once, but I lost that, too. It was one of the funniest ZLMB threads EVER.
I'm reduced to doing keyword searches now fo follow these threads. Man, that thread should be found and enshrined somewhere where it won't get lost. Yes, apologists have no problem making fun other religions. They dismiss the story more flippantly than just about anyone has dismissed the Book of Mormon. Any apologist I'm aware of would have tarred and feathered Smith had they lived in his time.
