Blaine, I would like to offer a few critical coments on what I believe is an over-inflated impression of the BoM.

I thought the book was written by Mormon on golden plates, and JS merely used a set of magic stones (U&T) to decipher it. Seems any 3rd grader could do that! Or, maybe it was plaigerized from a collection of other works, including whole sections of the KJV. Any third grader could do that.
Blainerb also wrote: In fact, the more you read it, the more it becomes clear it has tremendous internal consistency.
Like whole sections plaigerized from the KJV, or the story of man who, having had his head lopped off, gasps for air, or the use of a french word, Adieu, that did not even exist at the time it of King James, into whose english the book was supposedly translated, which also is filled with hundreds of King James english grammer errors that a 3rd grader would never be able to get right, not to mention over 4000 editorial changes, or stories of great wars in the Americas involving chariots and swords, of which not a single shred of archeological evidence has ever been found. Now that is NOT what I call an inspired work, or a consistent work.
