"Seriously, though, there are Mormon apologetics answers to almost all of this shit"
Well of course they have answers, it isn't like they are going to openly admit, "yeah you got us, it is all totally fabricated BS"...the fun part is how hollow their answers are. Empirical, archaeological, and DNA evidence always wins.
I agree, but my point wasn't just that "yeah, they have apologetics" it's that truly committed members will believe in the face of hollow apologetics. To their credit, there are many who go to fairmormon and read what's there and realize the foundations of their church are not only built on sand but that sand is washing away, and in some areas it's completely gone. We call those people ex-Mormons.

That episode and the Scientology episode are seriously fantastic. (And still the only two SP episodes I've ever seen in full... )
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
