The more I study the Book of Mormon, the more it looks like the Bible to me. It is a distorted view of a likely small population in the New World. I suspect that they, too, shared so fully in the cultural context of the times that we will never obviously find them in the dirt . I suspect that there is a tremendous amount of editing going on in the Book of Mormon, not to mention a thick filter through Joseph Smith's vocabulary and ideas. When we play this game, we examine each stone as it is placed.
Some positions are strong, some are weak.
Eventually the board fills, and the ability to see patterns where others see only stones marks the good player from the average. I still wouldn't recommend getting into an argument with my wife.
