I found this quote online today - it's perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself. Geesh, what a bonehead.
“I cheerfully admit, and routinely say, that Mormonism has not proven its claims. I don’t think it’s supposed to do so, either, and, accordingly, I reject your claim that it has failed to do so.” Daniel C. Peterson (BYU Professor and Chief Mormon Apologist in Charge - MADB)
Daniel Peterson is also the author of "Evidences of The Book of Mormon", "Echoes and Evidences of The Book of Mormon", and "The Book of Mormon and DNA Research". These books come highly recommended by the Mormon leadership because (I'm going out on a limb here) they want books like these to be brought into the home and never actually looked at. Rather than being confused, it's best that Mormons leave these books on the bookshelf to be admired only. From a distance, they can sit comfortably knowing that a faithful Mormon "scholar" exists in this world, and he has explained away all the contradictory, faith-destroying information regarding Mormonism, and more specifically in Daniel Peterson's case, The Book of Mormon.
In the off chance you do read through Peterson's books, this simple math will make more sense:
= HORSE
= ASS
= HORSE'S ASS
Any questions?
Didn't think so.
