If so, it reminds me of a line from Dan Vogel's video about priesthood restoration.
I'm not saying there's no such thing as priesthood or that the Book of Mormon can't be important and inspiring, just that the Church's cultural requirement that we believe these stories literally is pushing me away.The cavalier manner in which Cowdery and Smith added anachronistic elements to serve later needs and manipulated related documents shows that they were not drawing on memories of real events, which raises the question: If Smith and Cowdery didn't treat angelic ordination stories as real experiences, why should we?"
Thanks in advance for your insights.
