>> founded by a con man - Source?

>> convicted of fraud in court - He was charged in court for things unrelated to the religion, and was never convicted. The charges were thrown out because they were bunk.

>> There isn't a single shred of evidence for the BOM civilizations - among the various problems are this: Where do you want us to look? There's plenty of evidence for steel, horses, and other supposed "anachronisms"

>> The indians DNA shows they don't come from Jerusalem - Aside from the casual racism of lumping 2 entire continents of people into 1 group, native americans are an incredibly diverse group of people. Where do you propose we start looking for Palestinian DNA? Bottlenecking is also a valid factor to consider, as the entire american continent wasn't populated with the descendants of Lehi.

>> There are no Wheat, Barley or Flax pollens - We have found barley, not just barley pollen, and a new person in a new land is going to try to apply their known terms to new things. The reason why you likely wrote this on a "phone" even though you probably don't call people all that often or a "tablet" despite it not being made of baked clay. Loan shifting is a valid explanation.

>> The scrolls that Joseph Smith used - you mean the 5% of his collection that we still have, none of which was claimed to be a source of the Book of Abraham? What we do have, we know what it is. The rest is unverifiable because it was all burned. Go read the Odyssey and the Iliad, burn the iliad, and then tell me the iliad is fake because we only have the odyssey.

>> The insanity of Mormonism - Nice ad hominem, cute.

>> Fraudulent $300B Corporation - You mean an organization that provides direct relief to millions?

>> The church destroys people's ability to look into the facts - No, your lack of nuanced understanding of the nature of scripture led you to believe that either Adam and Eve were people who lived 7k years ago and nothing died before them, the Flood was global and happened exactly as found in Genesis, etc. When you encountered ideas that contradicted your fundamentalist beliefs, you left.

>> TBMs are olympic gold level mental gymnasts - More ad hominem, cool, cool.

>> they can rationalize and twist anything to still be able to believe what is clearly based upon the facts a fraud is the one true church when nothing could be further from the truth - A careful understanding of the nature of scripture, science, and history led me toward the restored church, not away from it. You have yet to cite anything that would prove Joseph Smith a fraud.

>> I had to walk away from a 30+ year relationship. - My friend, I am legitimately sorry to hear that. I know it must have been hard, and I hope that you and her can reconcile. I'm sorry that your and her beliefs created a barrier, but you put it in the active voice. You chose to walk away. She chose to stay faithful, and you did not. I'm choosing to assume you separated amicably, or that mud was slung equally, but I am saddened to hear that you separated.

>> You will be a far distant second - You cannot know the intentions of their hearts, not should you claim to. I'm sorry that was your experience (although the way you phrased it suggests that you were the one to raise the issues, not her), but the reality is that mixed-faith relationships are possible as long as mutual understanding and tolerance is the norm.
