Ha! Imagine my confusion at taking the opposite journey. :P Got halfway through the first book before I realized why the story sounded so eerily familiar...
I would, ironically, recommend trying to read the Book as if it were a fictional narrative. You can't do that with the Bible, because that wasn't the purpose it was written for. However, with the Book of Mormon, Mormon compiled a millenium's-worth of religious documents into a cohesive, understandable narrative for the benefit of the reader. So you can afford to read it that way.
Also, yes, I know it's boring. Even Mormons have a hard time reading it cover to cover. xP
IMO the Old Testament reads OK as a narrative, though the recurring "and then God told Moses 'Tell the Children of Israel to do X, Y, and Z'" bits are admittedly distracting. The New Testament reads as a fictional narrative even better. (Or, rather, several parallel ones.) The Book of Mormon works OK, but is, yes, incredibly dull. While we're on the subject, though, IMO the Koran really doesn't work as a fictional narrative.
In this comment thread, I stated that
In the resulting thread five evidences were given, and some back-and-forth occurred. Being myself somewhat biased, I feel unfit to judge if Arandur actually showed that a non-Mormon's skepticism is unwarranted.
So you, who wish to become stronger, I ask: please comment below whether or not you believe the proposition was satisfied.
Remember! This is not a vote on whether the evidence is factually correct or not!
Remember! This is not a chance to anonymously signal your agreement or disagreement with the LW hive mind!
Remember! If the sky is green, wish to believe that the sky is green!
I don't know what else I can say to forestall thread hijacking.
