[scriptural citations snipped]

The god of the Book of Mormon "knows" the problem all of us face too, Roger. Have you read Moroni 10:4 and asked God if it was true?

And when ye shall recieve these things [reading the B of M], I

would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if

these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere

heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will

manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy

Ghost. (Moroni 10:4)

Using your own words, why don't you test the B of M scriptures to see if they are true?
