So my Dad is a mormon and he claims this book validates his beliefs, it was not written by a mormon, but there is still a ton of stuff in it that seems to be bullshit to me, but I am an ignorant non historian, please help me.
For those of us who are unfamiliar with that book specifically, but might be to shed some light on the situation regardless, can you explain what the book said to prompt the debate you're having with your father?
