In his joke of a book against Mormon apologetics, John Weldon wrote the following:
Everything we know tells us the Book
of Mormon is a myth and that Mormonism is a false religion. (But even if Book
of Mormon civilizations (or what could claim to be them) were eventually
discovered it still wouldn't prove Mormon theology and Scripture true, because
these are antithetical to biblical revelation and false by definition.) (John
Weldon, Mormon Apologetics: A Losing Battle [Chattanooga, Tenn.: ATRI
Publishing, 2012 Logos ed.])
In
other words, even if Joseph told the truth and the Book of Mormon were to be verified,
he would continue to stick his head in the sand no matter what because “MuH
pRoTeStAnTiSm!!!!”
