What's any more nutty about the BOM than about (the rest(?)) of the

history doesn't support in both, right?

Well, in the BOM there is a claim that gold plates were handed down. So
put them on display and let them be analysed... I'll have to go dig out
my copy for some specific refs if there's an interest but I just came
away thinking it was nuttier than Revelations, even.

Has anyone here read _Saints_ by Orson Scott Card?  It's historical
fiction and I find it riveting.  I read Card for SF but this is one of
his best.

Deja vu all over again.:-) I think the last time I said I liked the LDS

that I at least had read it and liked it... Not his best work, but
better than his most recent work where he seems to be in "pay by the
word" mode.
