Defending the Indefensible?

LDS Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein has made some videos defending the Book of Abraham which were recently uploaded to YouTube.  Of course, it wasn't long before someone made a video to counter his claims.  To me, the narrator of this video seemed to ignore the points Dr. Muhlestein was making, sometimes acknoledging them, but arguing against them anyway.  I've seen this video linked twice already, so I thought I should say something about it.

Unfortunately, neither I nor this narrator is an Egyptologist.  So this might get a little crazy.

Difficult Questions for Mormons?

Difficult?  Hardly.

This is from the Interactive Bible -- a simplistic website, but I've seen many links to it.  It just dumps a lot of complaints about Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Since it's so huge, there's no point for anyone to go through point-by-point.  Really the only way to learn the truth about heavenly things is through revelation from God in Heaven.  That's why all we ask is to read the Book of Mormon, ponder your feelings, and pray and ask God if it's true.

All the same, for those that want to know what we think about each of these things, I made a fairly decent effort.

All about the Mormons? Analysis of a South Park episode

All About the Mormons was an episode of South Park that aired on Comedy Central on November 19, 2003.  This episode is sometimes brought up by those antagonistic to the church, and at the same time, many Mormons think it is funny and appreciate the humor.  While there are many reactions to this episode, I'm going to respond to the question I am sometimes asked:  "How accurate is it?"
