I 'd like to know more about Mormom. Is it true that the context of the Book of Mormon copies from a fiction? Then, there were people sued Mormon (the copyright problem). Mormon lost in the court case. Please be open to discuss.

I don't know anything about a court case, you're probably confusing that with Joseph Smith being arested for "glass gazeing".
However, the Book of Mormon does appear to copy from the "Veiw of the Hebrews" and prehaps from "Manuscript Found".

The Book of Mormon was not copied from any work of fiction. That court case you mention did not happen. The best way to discover the truth of the Book of Mormon is to read it yourself and ask God in prayer if it is true. If you do this God will let you know that it is true by the power of the Holy Ghost. You can get a Book of Mormon here: http://www.mormon.org/freeoffers/1,17785,2071-1-1,00.html?src=tv

I haven't heard that the book of mormon copies its story from a work of fiction, but i myself do believe it is all fiction. there is not much (if any proof) for most of the stuff in it. I've never heard about them being sued or a copyright problem...but i do know the book and doctrines have been changed over 3000 times since the first copy...
If you're looking into it I would really encourage you to research it from without the group. Some good books are "under the banner of heaven" and "the god makers" and..."out of mormonism".

I'm not sure where you heard that, but it's wrong. The Book of Mormon is not copied from anything but the original ancient metal plates that Joseph Smith found them on. And there has never been a copyright law suit against the Church on that basis.

Just a caution: don't always believe things you hear that aren't directly from the source.
You can read about our basic beliefs at lds.org
We strive to be kind, loving, and Christ-like people. That is what we are taught and our ultimate goal is to return to live with our Heavenly Father, our Brother Jesus Christ, and our families one day.
The Book of Mormon is the most correct book of any on the earth and a person can get closer to the Lord through reading and abiding by its teachings than any other way. I firmly belive and know that to be true.
