Listen to yourself, everyone knows native people have lived in the Americas for centuries! but not Jews!
You listen to yourself. You are getting entirely too worked up over this. Calm down; it's just a discussion, and considering the fact that it's on the Comparative Religion forum, it's not even supposed to be a debate. And don't say, "The Mormons started it!!!" Start at the beginning of the thread and prove that accusation. All we're doing is responding to your posts. We've been on the defensive ever since the thread got started. All we've seen so far is a bunch of posts by people who have never read the book but who claim to be authorities on it. Just for the record, we don't believe that the majority of Native Americans are of Jewish heritage, so it would be nice if you would not exaggerate. Imagine that an extended family of, say, 30-50 Native Americans were to migrate to Sweden today, intermarried with the Swedes and remained in Sweden for the next 2500 years. Would it make any sense for someone in the year 4500 A.D. to say that some crazy religious group believes that the Swedes are really Native Americans? That's essentially what you are doing. You are accusing us of making a claim we aren't making.
Really? so where are the Golden plates? taken by Moroni to heaven? how convenient.
For you, yes. I can't say that it's been to our advantage.
No really, are you not confident enough to provide material?
I am both confident enough and well-read enough. I'm just smart enough to recognize that nothing I could possibly say would make the slightest bit of difference to you. Had the question been raised by someone I could see was the slighest bit sincere in asking it, you can bet your life I'd be providing material. Since returning to RF after an absence of several months, I've been a lot more selective about how I spend my time. I have never made it a practice to cut and paste, so any response I were to make on the subject would require a significant amount of time. I've already done the research, by the way, so it would just be a matter of compiling everything, organizing it all, and composing a post that could adequately refute your nonsense that there is nothing Jewish in the book. Still, it would probably take me a couple of hours, and for what? I'm not going to change your mind. Someday, someone will ask who will give my response some serious consideration. I'm willing to wait until that happens.
Gee, finally some recognition. thousands of years from Moses to Sandy Koufax, of course I'd comment on that.
Yeah, if it hadn't been a insult, you could be right proud of yourself.
