Good summary in my opinion.

All religious texts have plot holes, so focusing on the narrative is missing the ultimate point.

All religious texts texts of any kind with any degree of narrative ambition have plot holes, so focusing on the narrative is missing the ultimate point.

Only fourteen-year-olds who think that TVTropes is a valuable repository of cultural criticism use the term "plot hole" in earnest as though it discredits an entire work. Of course, in this case that's compounded by your constant need to hate on every religion besides yours as a means of assuaging your insecurities.

I'm reminded of this classic Onion article.

I mean, if you insist on being so childish and pedantic: Well duh, The Book of Lehi got lost in the middle of translation and you have a prequel towards the very end.

But whatever, the usual New New Atheists with their "I'm not like those other New Atheists" and the true fake Christian keep going at it again.

I don't normally respond to these because of the general garish nature, but this one was just too far out there not merit an appropriate response.

A little off topic, but one time in high school I compared Joseph Smith's magic translation stones to the seeing stone in The Spiderwick Chronicles and triggered a Mormon classmate

It was my finest moment

The Bible is a historical text and they want you to believe that Pharoahs we're white they were mixed with Blk and Arabic and James Ossurary Box, bone box, yes James was the biological brother of Jesus, another son of Joseph not Mary, which is called a Half brother..  James box was found and there were no last names, brother of Jesus, Christ probably is mortal man anyways, but he is still considered like all the other prophets like in Buddhism they call the High Priests.

We won't know if there is a God unless we die or a Rapture, but why hasn't there been a Rapture, Catholicsm was created before Protestant because many believe the Pope was a stand in for Christ return and he was coming back right away

Protestant came in the form of Baptist belief that you must be Baptized and Catholics don't formally baptize and God's Kingdom isn't in Heaven it's on Earth New Jerusalem, like Jehovah Witnesses believe way after Catholics which mainly believe we're going to Heaven after death

TV Tropes is a very valuable repository of culture.

Anyway, the Book of Mormon was clearly written by Joseph Smith. There's no way if Jesus was Resurrected he'd go to upstate NY, and he certainly wouldn't have interacted with a pedophile.
