Similarities Between Religions

So if you know that American Indians come from East Asia and not Israel, why do you still adhere to the religion?

There are at least three possibilities in history that are compatible with the original prophesy from the Book of Mormon and with the genetic evidence that indicates the Native Americans were from East Asia.

From a purely logical point of view, I'm not going to pretend any of them are very likely, but I'd like to know for sure before I throw my religion out the window.

your religion is very recent, and also very unlikely. the southpark mormon episode just about sums it up(just kidding, but i still dont think the mormon religion is very likely)

No, I'm not going to pretend it's a likely religion. A boy goes out and prays about religion and is visited first by Lucifer, then by God the father and his son Jesus Christ and later confronted by an angel who lived from descendants of the Jews on a continent that wasn't supposed to have Jews...yeah. I know the odds are stacked against Mormonism. We're an odd one, I must admit!

But I think many Christians of many faiths would agree that if there is a God who actually loves his children all equally, he will eventually create a way to offer equal chances to all people, even those who never heard his word. I would simply argue that he already did it with the founding of Mormonism.
