| 00:10.41 | resplin | Cultist: Are you familiar with the Book of Mormon? |
| 00:10.49 | resplin | I'm trying to figure out the right level of explanation to give. |
| 00:11.04 | Cultist | very vaguely |
| 00:11.34 | resplin | Joseph Smith claimed to have translated the Book of Mormon from an ancient record containing the story of a prophet that God led out of Isreal, across an ocean, and settling in the Western Hemisphere. |
| 00:11.54 | resplin | Mormons accept that account as scripture, and most consider it to be historically accurate. (I'm one of them.) |
| 00:12.12 | resplin | This "lost tribe of Isreal" had an advanced civilization for almost one thousand years. |
| 00:12.34 | resplin | The highlight of the Book of Mormon is a visit of Jesus Christ to this people after his death and resurrection. |
| 00:13.23 | resplin | See https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/11 |
| 00:13.42 | resplin | The Church takes no official position on where the events of the Book of Mormon took place. |
| 00:14.10 | resplin | But some Mormon Scholars place it in Central America, as it had advanced civilization and writing at the same time period as the events in the Book of Mormon claim to have occured. |
| 00:14.51 | resplin | Mormons also believe that their faith represents the ancient faith given to Adam, Noah, Moses, etc. So we often find parallels of our beliefs in cultures and traditions around the world. |
| 00:15.28 | resplin | But I don't think most Mormons who know anything about Quetzalcoatl equate him with Jesus Christ, except as an interesting parallel. |

| 00:21.45 | Cultist | I'm sure it requires more familiarity with Mormon culture and ideology than I have |
