Question for alt.atheism |
Some folks here may recall that series of weekly posts I did a few years
back, to study the Bible from an atheist point of view.
I've been toying with the idea of doing the same sort of thing for the
Book of Mormon. What would you think of doing that sometime soon?

I would love to see it.
I have a very close friend who is a mormon.
I don't have the time to read the book of mormon, but would love to learn
more.

I like the idea. Mormonism is even lamer than
Christianity.

If you wanted to get started early....
A few years ago, I went to my brother's wedding in upstate New York, in
Rochester. A few miles away was Palmyra, where Joseph Smith had his reputed
"revelation" and where was to be found the Hill Cumorah, were the Golden
Plates were "found." On a lark, my mother and I drove out there to a museum
and "prayer park" that the LDS had set up there.
We walked around the grounds in the late afternoon of late spring. We stood
on Hill Cumorah. Standing there, I told my mother the official story of how
the Book of Mormon was done: A man by the name of Moroni, about 640 CE,
stood on this hill and watched a vast battle, where his people (the Godly
Nephites) were completely slaughtered by the Native Americans (the evil
Lamanites, whom God had cursed with dark skin.) His record of this battle,
combined with a record of God's work on this continent, were scribed on
sheets of gold and some years after the battle, hidden within the hill where
Joseph Smith latter found them.
I told my mom that archaeologists have dug up battlefields that were two
centuries old and found lots and lots of evidence to show the battle. At the
very least, there were always weapons that had been broken and discarded in
battle, buckles broken from shoes or sandals, bits of cloth and armor that
had gotten cut in combat, remains of firepits where the armies had
bivouacked, ground that, centuries latter, still showed the distinctive sign
of having been trampled by thousands of feet. I pointed out how the Mormons
have spent millions and millions of dollars excavating in Central and South
America in an effort to prove that the cities of hundreds of thousands
mentioned in the Book of Mormon really did exist but that, somehow, they
have consistently failed to excavate the most important battlefield the Book
of Mormon has to offer. It is not like they don't know WHERE the battle took
place, I said, pointing to the park surounding the hill.
My mom thought for a moment. Then she, who has always spoken kindly of the
Mormons, said, Yeah, that's pretty stupid of them, isn't it?

To be honest, the LDS' more interesting doctrines -- polygamy, God as a
space alien, the idea that good Mormon men can become gods themselves,
baptism for the dead, etc, etc -- are NOT found in the Book of Mormon.
Rather, they come from The Pearl of Great Price
(http://scriptures.lds.org/pgp/contents) and Doctrines and Covenants
(http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/contents).
Also, the PoGP includes the first chapter of Joseph Smith's "translation and
correction" of the Gospel of Matthew. The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, descended from a group of Mormons who rejected Brigham
Young's leadership, still use the entire "Inspired Version" of the Bible
(http://www.centerplace.org/hs/iv/default.htm.) Odd, isn't it, how the
"mainstream" church has rejected the Bible as "translated and corrected" by
the "true prophet, seer and revelator."

Sounds good. I haven't read too much of the book, but from what I have,
there seems to be a lot of crazy weird stuff in there. Might be
entertaining.
BTW, the Skeptics Annotated Bible site now has a section on the Book of
Mormon:

Possibly though since the Book of Mormon is so patently fake it really
only has one layer. The Bible being written over a period of
centuries and with later writers combining multiple works of earlier
writers and even the earliest writers using some established oral
stories as well as actual events has multiple layers. In addition
there are a multitude of religions who use and interpret it in a
multitude of ways. The Book of Mormon really only has one religion.
Perhaps something from a different type of religion.
Bhagavad-Gita
Lotus Sutra
The former is short but both would require some background reading for
most of us since we are unfamiliar with how these are interpreted.
Hmm, actually most of us are probably unfamiliar with how the Book of
Mormon is interpreted.
Emma
ps. Anyone got any other ideas for readings?
pps. a quick search shows that http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm
might be interesting browsing

The Quran would be both interesting and topical. The Bhagavad-Gita is
a particular favorite of mine, and would also be welcome, as would the
Tao Te Ching
I'd be willing to write the articles for a study of Crowley's "Liber
AL vel Legis" ("The Book Of The Law") if there was sufficient interest
in a more modern religion (Thelema), although I'm sure Therion will
remind me that the study of the book is "strictly forbidden"... ;-)

I've been considering trying to wade through the Qur'an, but it's pretty
heavy going. LOTS of repetition. And, like the BoM, was pretty much
written by one person with a lot of imagination, drugs oor both.
I have a copy of the Gita and The Upanishads, and may do those as well,
but I thought I'd stick with Xianity for the nonce.

Well, as much as I'd like to see a similar analysis of the Qur'an, I'd
have to vote for the Book of Mormon as more relevant to American
society, as the Mormons have been gathering more political influence
and joined with the fundamentalist who a decade ago were denouncing
them as evil satan-worshiping frauds.
In other words, I wouldn't be able to do something like that but, yeah,
if you post it, I'll read it :)

<Possibly Serious, in a kind of a way>
Liber AL vel Legis doesn't have a generally perceived influence. This
is not quite what you're saying, he said as a Hawk pecking various
appropriate eyes. Just for the fun of it.
Consider - for example - Christ, de Sade and Crowley. and how they are
the same and different and how in the contemplation of their lives
they are the same in the way that we see them.
Dead people are, after all, not what they were but what we see them to
be, have been, and at length what we wish then to be or have been -
for good or ill, or to justify us, or not.
I think it was Augustine who noted that "Love God, and do what you
like". How this differs from "Love is the Law, Love under Will,"
remains something to be explained.

I've been toying with the idea of doing the same sort of thing for the
Book of Mormon. What would you think of doing that sometime soon?
I'd be interested. All I know about them is a guy talking in a hat
and magic underwear.
Or is that enough?
that's too much for me! sounds like the project might be entertaining
in a sick sort of way.

LOL! I have to admit that my knowledge of Mormonism is based on a
satirical episode of "South Park" and an unfortunate, scared, mentally
scarred school mate I once knew.
Michelle, I admire your patience if you do read all of it.

Doing it? Haven't got the time or inclination. Reading it, sure!

I've never read it. I'm curious as to what nonsense it contains.
Don't the Mormons have two bibles?

South Park did a great job on the Chuch of Latter Day "Morons". Dum,
Dum, Dum...if you didn't see it the "Dum Dums" are meaningless.
The problem with studying the Book of "Moron" is that it is so idiotic
that it is hardly worth the effort.
But then again, a study might change my obviously uniformed view. I have
to admit that I really don't know anything about what they believe. Say
"Joesph Smith" and my eyes roll and go glassy.
