Comments are suspended for the article at Deseret News. Oh well, I guess I'll just post it here. The article says "a key to modern racism and white supremacy is the stereotyping and scapegoating of entire groups as enemies to be removed or opposed." Let me see, God's wrath on an entire group and his spirit with the whites, aiding them in their removal of that enemy group. 1 Ne

The Book of Mormon the only scripture in the world that has this concerning America's indigenous peoples. That is my point.
Forum: Recovery Board

It isn't just Columbus, the Mormon church is stuck with the Book of Mormon. In that same chapter (1 Nephi 13) it describes god's spirit being with Europeans who nearly destroy America's indigenous peoples while god's wrath is on those being destroyed. It is a racist version of historical events, the only scripture in the world that has this.

Thank you Tevai. The story in the Book of Mormon has Lehi leaving Jerusalem with his sons and others, bringing seeds, coming to America and planting those seeds and getting an abundance of harvest. Then after Lehi dies, his son Nephi takes his followers and flees into the American wilderness to escape his own brothers, taking seeds. He plants them and again has abundance of crops. 2 N

Tevai, can you give me some info from the Jewish side on this? So when Lehi left and came to America, he took seeds from Jerusalem with him and planted them in America. Mormons try to say that the American wild "little barley" satisfies the anachronism of barley in the Book of Mormon, but what about the Omer? What about the seven species of agricultural products?

It was a good class that day. The professor took us through how Redi had performed true science to show that flies did not arise spontaneously from rotting meat. That got added to the discussion, how can life begin with non-living matter. Like I said, the subject is as provocative now as it was then.

"I don't discard The Miller Experiment, which proves life could have developed on this or any other planet." The idea of where first life began is provocative isn't it?
