I've read (most of) the Book of Mormon, and the Bible. I'm working through the Quran right now.

The Book of Mormon is unfortunately easily falsifiable. You just need to do some genetic sequencing of native americans and see that the story about a tribe of Israel is false.

Joining a cult has an enormous cost, in the case of Mormonism that cost is ~10% gross income. Even as cults go, that's pretty high actually.
