I found a fascinating parallel to Alma 31. The BOM is clearly a product of the 1820s and has 0 to do with ancient America.

Good read.
Have you read "An Insiders View of Mormon Origins". Grant goes deep into this. :)

Yes I have read it, but I forgot this. I was going through Mormon Parallels for this. Ah well, sounds like I'm just rehasing old news, but at least my posts are short :)
It's always good to "brush up". And, apparently, to 15 million people it's not old news yet. They still need to be informed and educated. So keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks. My main objective is to debunk the Book of Mormon (which in my mind has been thoroughly done) but to do it in bite-sized pieces. Almost like sound-bites for those who are on the fence.
The term "antinomian" "...can also be extended to any individual who rejects a socially established morality." (from Wikipedia)
That certainly applies to Smith. Ironic, since his BoM decries his version of them as having "...fallen into great errors." He was describing himself.

Excellent point! He even admits to his tendency to fall into error.
