Oops, you got me: another memory failure. Thanks for the catch. Yeah, a guy with a limp outrunning or fighting attackers carrying a book that weighs 200lbs. The 60lbs part is his and apologists "alloy" BS that's rejected by the book itself in Mosiah 8:9 where it says the plates are pure gold. So, it looks like a stretch unless the book is wrong.

[citation needed], again. Mosiah 8:9 is about a different set of plates that part of the Book of Mormon was abridged from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ether#Provenance

My goal isn't to "get you"; I just don't want incorrect information passed off as truth. You clearly think the Book of Mormon is bogus. That's fine, but please use better researched arguments against it.

Anyway, I'm going to drop this thread here, since a post about Paul Le Roux if the wrong place to have this discussion.

It's possible the original source was bad on that one. I'll drop it for now until I revisit the evidence. Or dfop it entirely as it wasn't a critical claim to begin with.
