Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

But as you said, you just don't care to make informed arguments. Pretty typical of your clan, which is the actual reason nobody takes your position very seriously while the religious fundamentalists on the other side of your coin justifiably criticize the dogmas of such pseudo-skepticism. Thanks for the exemplary demonstration of that in a nut shell.

I gotta tell you, I get a good laugh from seeing you use the term "ignorant" from such an obvious position of stubborn ignorance. You are obviously incapable of truly considering the nature of invention in religion. 

Nevertheless, it's rare to find someone so eager to defend his ignorance with absolutely nothing. LOL. So let's try another quick hand at it:


  1. The angel Moroni is the heavenly messenger who first visited the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1823. As a mortal named Moroni 2, he had completed the compilation and writing of the Book of Mormon.

Real person or not?

According to your logic, he must be real for the following reasons:

#1. You can read about him
#2. A massive movement has been established around his existence


But, wait, is everyone doing it? Oh no, they aren't. There are estimated to be over 15 million followers of the religion this person's alleged existence established, but historians still largely reject the notion of his existence based around a lack of credible evidence. 

Interestingly enough, there is far more compelling evidence for a Moroni 2 then there is a Jesus Christ. We have first hand accounts and a physical description. However, for some of us, who accept that it is the very nature and, in fact, necessity of religion to make shit up, it's easy to dismiss Moroni as a necessary invention of the Mormon religion, much like Jesus is the necessary invention of the Christian religion. 

You seem very attached to your personal belief that you are a responsible and well educated historian, but your inability to use sound logic in discerning truth make that an allusive designation. Sadly, your poor foundation will likely prevent you from every achieving it. Between your "everyone" is doing it approach and your inability to utilize critical and objective analysis, I think you are stuck where you are, which is just a gullible hippy. 

But at least you created a cool topic to smash to pieces. That's something.
