Pops, good question. Sometimes it is sometimes hard to tell. I’m also happy to engage in a debate of ideas and answer questions as I think it’s useful for people to see that. However, we should as a society recognize falsehoods and shun them and not listen to those people engaged in destructive philosophies.

So the obvious question is, why then do you entertain their lies here? If I were running this blog, I would screen comments and simply not post comments from Korihors. Granted, it is sometimes difficult to tell a sincere query from those seeking contention and the purveyors of cognitive dissonance, but some of the comments above are pretty easily screened.

David, thanks for commenting. Have you ever read the Book of Mormon? It’s all about Christ and his visit to the America’s after his resurrection. In fact, here’s a link to a Southern Baptist preacher who took the time to read the Book of Mormon and loves the Christ-centered messages it contains.

Also, just this week, I found this letter from a former-Lutheran turned atheist who took the time to start reading the Book of Mormon and noted that all Christians should read the book. His short letter is here:

I certainly don’t know why would you say “the object of LDS worship is not a suitable support because it is a distinctively non Christian being.” We worship God the Father in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. We believe that we are saved through the grace of Christ. We use the Bible and Book of Mormon as companion volumes of scripture that both testify of Christ. Unless you’ve read the Book of Mormon and only believe what others say about it, you are liable to not have an accurate representation of our belief in Christ.

If the Book of Mormon contains a set of the Ten Commandments for your edification, quietly thank the Mormons for it and move on, despite the fact that they themselves do not understand who God is, was and ever will be. Perhaps this will change. Pray that it be so.

1) You're labeling me “ultra-conservative” and at the same time you're upset that I labeled Goodlad a Korihor. Are you throwing stones in a glass house??? I'm in favor of putting the word Republic back into our state standards and having our school district focus on solid research-backed academics so now I'm “ultra-conservative.” Can you prove that? Extra points if you use the Book of Mormon to do it. :)
2) I'm in favor of our children reading the Constitution and other founding documents. How exactly is that an intolerant bias?
3) This article specifically says it's for an LDS audience. Why on earth should I use the Koran or Torah? The fact that I didn't use the Bible in this article is pointless since I'm sharing a story *from* the Book of Mormon. If my article dealt with a Biblical story, I would have used the Bible.
4) Where on earth you get the idea that I'm trying to turn our public schools into having an LDS bend is beyond me. I've never advocated that nor do I harbor such thoughts in my mind or heart. I would, however, be in favor of doing what our founders suggested and that is teaching the Bible for its moral values, not doctrine.

Seriously Lewis, why do you keep trying to read my mind? It's not one of your better skills. ;) My wife even has a tough time with it and she's a lot closer to me than you are. Am I just an enigma to you or something? Some type of puzzle to figure out? If you have a question, just ask it.
