[..YouTube..] Hi BYP, as an atheist my main interest in religion is usually to learn about other peoples culture & improving my debating skills.
I don’t know much about Mormonism other than the deluge of biased anti-Joseph Smith propaganda that exists (I call it propaganda based on the sound of one hand clapping).
Your infectious desire for knowledge & the genuine way you share it makes me look forward to your video analysis, although I must admit my interest will be more anthropological than spiritual.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:57 am
[..YouTube..] I think this is the most important work you can do here on youtube, doing a full commentary on the Book of Mormon, thanks for educating us with knowledge and insights. Doctrine and Covenants section 88 vs 118 for the win!
December 30th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
[..YouTube..] Well, I am going to throw myself into this with complete abandon. I am notgoing to give a Reader’s Digest version, but the grand Encyclopedic version of this. I have just received a most astonishing gift of Heaven today. I am thrilled, awed, and absolutely humbled by it. I shall explain in a vid tonight. It couldn’tbe a more ***perfect*** beginning to my commentary. I truly mean that.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
[..YouTube..] I will certainly be deliving into the anthropological aspects ofthe Nephite and Lamanite cultures also. Thank you for your kindness. I think this will be my best videos yet. I am not finished with any of the other ideas either, and will make videos on other subjects, but I think for this year, I am going to put the peddle to the metal and let er rip it up. Woo hoo! This will be the Sunday School class we have always wanted, and never received. There will be things new and interesting for all.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
[..YouTube..] Can’t wait to hear it!~
December 30th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

[..YouTube..] Take up my challenge with a twist…..why am I not surprised?! You do march to your own beat, honey, just like me. And listen to how silly this sounds, “my lazy butt” after a 16 hour workday, I’d like to see what hard-working is!
January 4th, 2009 at 9:46 am
[..YouTube..] GRIN! Well, the longest I have ever worked is 50 hours. I had a piece of art going to a world class Mesoamerican archaeologist, and I almost didn’t make the time cut. I worked everyday for a month about 20 hours a day, after 3 weeks, slept an entire day, then sprinted for 50 straight hours getting it done. It was astonishing to make such a gorgeous piece of art.

[..YouTube..] The BoM is either the most astonishingly well crafted hoax in history, or it’s an inspired scripture. I don’t think there’s any middle ground. I can’t wait to go through the BoM with you based on your video commentary. I’d encourage others out there to check out Through the Bible Radio’s Bible bus which does a whirlwind tour of the old and new testaments in 365 days.
January 5th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
[..YouTube..] Fasinating BOOKS YOU HAVE !!!! WOW!!
Who would have known there were that many books all based around the Book of Mormon !!

[..YouTube..] Rodney .. I assure you the Book of Mormon is truly Inspired scripture.. there is no hoax about it …..

January 7th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
[..YouTube..] THAT IS JUST AMAAAAZING!!! Now there is NO EXCUSE whatsoever on not studying the BookofMormon because I’ve read it and there’s no new way of reading or studying it-MY GOODNESS! That whole library of yours is all about the BookofMormon. Some of the titles caught my interest-I’m definately going to watch your videos. Thank you for doing this BackyardProfessor. You’ve motivated my lazy butt to do more than just read the BookofMormon. Alofas, your Samoan brada from anada mada…Tupua.
January 8th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
[..YouTube..] Well, stay tuned, more to come. Thanks for your nice words and comments. Now quit slobbering all about my videos, and slobber about the Book of Mormon – LOL!

January 28th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
[..YouTube..] Yeah! This will give ya something to do! LOL!
February 14th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
[..YouTube..] The Hill Cumorah (according to “LDS scripture” and “the prophet Joseph Smith”) was the site of a massive battle where massive numbers of men were killed. The “mormon Church” owns this land. Why don’t they excavate it and bring forth the DNA and archeological evidence. You always say “just because we have not found it doesn’t mean its not there” Why not? Because its all a fairy tale, and “the church” knows it.
April 15th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
[..YouTube..] send me all those books lol
August 6th, 2009 at 12:33 am
[..YouTube..] In other news, a noted Book of Mormon scholar was killed when a magnitude 6.0 earthquake dislodged the the footings of his massive bookcase, crushing him.
Ohhhhh,
I couldn’t help it!
I am glad that you are sharing the knowledge from the library you have so I don’t have to spend $50,000 on books. Thanks
September 13th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
[..YouTube..] The book of Mormon is other than christianity. No matter how you clean a pig you got a pig. No matter how you use scholarly methods you still come up short of truth. This sucks because i ou as i was listening to your Hebrew stuff.
November 21st, 2009 at 7:26 am
[..YouTube..] Waiting for more….. Have you strolled far enough to return to this?
Really love this, I am writting a BoM with some comments in my language on a netside… craving for more knowledge. My bookshelf is limited!
February 28th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
[..YouTube..] Hey I am doing the same thing, except I am doing it through the New Testament!
Maybe Ill do the Book of Mormon someday
