The Apologetic Approach to Mormonism

There has been a steady stream of apologetic attempts to defend the Book of Mormon and Mormonism without having to actually deal with the issues. I just don't again I don't think that these arguments really hold water it really seems like a naive way to approach trying to prove the church is true. And I think the way that Brian works at even when he just says the where did all the words come from. So if you put around a bunch of numbers you're not dealing with the issues involved and the issues are legion. The second one came from my former missionary companion Elder McKay who says that even though there's compelling reasons to doubt Mormonism you need to stare those down and have faith to believe
