I wonder how they managed to tell a complex story like that before the invention of writing?

      Unlike all of those true books in the Bible like the one with the talking snake and the one with the guy who came back from the dead?

        Yes, because this one was immediately recognized as BS and the guy who wrote it was sentenced to 3 years hard labour in gaol. So not even a good fake.

        True and real are not the same thing.

        You can stick your head in a hat and make up ahistorical rambling nonsense about native Americans, just like Joseph Smith did, but it will never be an actual book of Mormon.
