I like Ken Jennings (jeopardy winner from a few years ago) and his take on the Mormon bashing that is going on. It's open season on Mormons with Mitt Romney running for President, but we are tough, we can take it, and we have the truth on our side.

Can you please point me to the physical evidence that shows that the Book of Mormon is true? I have looked and found none. The LDS Church has looked and found none. Could you please tell me where Zarahemla is? Can you point me to where the smelters are that made the "steel" swords? The Horses that pulled the chariots? The massive bones of the supposed great battle that took place near the hill cumorah? The coins used by the people mentioned in the Book of Mormon? The barley and oat crops that were harvested? The Reformed Egyptian writing? The DNA evidence that shows that the American Indians are decedent from the Middle East? If you do find such evidence I'm sure the Church would be interested too.

Yes. It is. One need only read it with sincerity and real intent to discover its truths to be able to determine that. Jesus Christ is mentioned some 6,000 times in the 500 page book. It is indeed another testament of Christ's divinity.
To learn the truth about the Book of Mormon, one can apply the promise made to us by that Book's final author,
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
I have done this and found my answer. the Book of Mormon is the word of God. You can find that same answer if you seek it.

The Book of Mormon is considered another Testament of Jesus Christ by Mormons, but I do not believe it to be. and even though Alice in Woderland will consider me a Mormon-basher for saying so (and therefore makes me "the lowest form of life on Earth") that is how I feel and I have as much right to speak my opinion as she does and any other Mormon does.

The Bible says at the end that there will be no further testament until HIS return. So, how can Christ have been in South Centeral or North America for that matter? That would imply HE made his return. It is in violation of several of the new and old testaments. Therefore, it is a cult.

Yes, it is.
As part of the Restoration? of the gospel?, God brought forth the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ?. By the power of God, Joseph Smith translated this book from an ancient record written on gold plates?. The Book of Mormon is “a record of God’s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible?, the fulness of the everlasting gospel” (Introduction to the Book of Mormon).
The Book of Mormon is a powerful witness of Jesus Christ. It helps us understand His teachings, including those in the Bible. Examples of Book of Mormon witnesses of Christ include:
Nephi, who saw the birth and death of Christ in a vision ( 1 Nephi 11:13–15).
The brother of Jared, who saw the Lord because of his great faith ( Ether 3:7–16).
The prophet Samuel the Lamanite, who prophesied of Christ’s coming and gave the signs of His birth and death ( Helaman 13–14).
Christ Himself, who, after His Resurrection, appeared to the people of ancient America and invited them to come forward one by one to see and touch Him until “they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves” ( 3 Nephi 11:13–17).
In the Bible, Jesus told His Apostles?, “Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” ( John 10:16). Soon after He was resurrected, the Lord visited these “other sheep”—the inhabitants of ancient America. During this visit to the American continent (recorded in the Book of Mormon), Jesus Christ:
Invited people to feel the wound marks in His hands and feet and side.
Taught His gospel.
Called twelve disciples to teach His gospel.
Healed the sick.
Prayed for the people.
Performed miracles.
In September 1823, Joseph Smith was visited by a heavenly messenger named Moroni?, in the same way that angels often appeared to Church leaders in the New Testament. Moroni informed Joseph that God had a work for him to do and told him that a record of the ancient inhabitants of the American continent was buried in a nearby hill. He stated that the record contained the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ ( Joseph Smith—History 1:27–34).
In September 1827, Joseph received the record, which was written on thin plates of gold. Joseph translated the book into English by the inspiration? of God and called the book the Book of Mormon. It is named after Mormon?, an ancient prophet who compiled the sacred? record. The book verifies, as another testament of Christ, the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ. It is, then, a second witness that affirms the truth of the Bible. Since its publishing in 1830, the Book of Mormon has blessed the lives of millions of people through its powerful message about Jesus Christ and His gospel.
