How do Mormons really believe all that stuff in the Book of Mormon?
Before you jump to judge Mormons for believing something bizarre, keep in mind that it has nothing to do with intelligence. The culture of Mormonism creates an environment where faith that goes against reason is seen as noble and virtuous. This type of faith is strong faith, and strong faith is good faith. Many also have an “experience” when they pray about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon or the Mormon Church. It’s usually a powerful emotional response, and they are taught that it is the Holy Ghost confirming the truthfulness of something. Now, it may very well be a spiritual experience, but not all spiritual experiences are of God.
