Pop Quiz for Mormons

CARM's BrianH offers this handy LogikTool:

Here is a pop quiz for Mormons. Please try to answer with honesty and integrity, or just move on to some other thread.

Here is your quiz:

1.) If the Book of Mormon was a total and complete hoax, the product of Joseph Smith's fevered little con artist brain, how much historical evidence would we rightly expect to discover representing the "Nephite" civilization in the historical record? For example, how many BoM cities would we find? How much Hebrew DNA would there be in the Native American genome? How many chariots, coins, steel mills and Hebrew and or "Reformed Egyptian" textual evidence would we expect to find?

A.) Tons
B.) Some
C.) None

2.) If the Book of Abraham was a total and complete hoax how much of the text on the Sensen papyrus (the original "Book of Abraham" allegedly the autograph penned by the hand of Abraham himself) would we expect to correlate to the content of the Book of Abraham "translation" in your Quad?

A.) All of it
B.) Some of it
C.) None of it

3.) If Joseph Smith was a total and complete fraud as a "prophet" and was doing nothing more than extending his career as a con artist in claiming to have received revelations about future events from God, how many of his prophecies would we rightly expect to see fulfilled?

A.) All of them
B.) Some of them
C.) None of them

4.) If the Mormon church was NOT the "restoration" of true, authentic, apostolic Christianity, but instead was the evolving brain child of Joseph Smith and his crew, how much evidence should we find of the distinctive doctrines of Mormonism in the New Testament, the writings of the earliest church-leaders (the Ante-Nicene Fathers) and the art and artifacts of the ancient Christian world?

A.) It would be all over the place
B.) There might be some
C.) Zip

5.) If you had been deceived by a Satanic cult masquerading as "the one true church", how would you be able to tell?

A.) By the test of my burning boosom
B.) By carefully comparing its claims to God's deliberate revelation of himself in his word
C.) I wouldn't know, because it is the nature of deception that the deceived cannot tell they have been duped

6.) If you are afraid to answer these questions, or working to find ways of being clever in avoiding what you know to be the correct answer, or refusing to answer the above questions with honesty and integrity, or are seeking some way to attack the Bible or otherwise change the subject here, what does that rightly tell us about your state of mind?

A.) It tells you I am in a state of denial
B.) It tells you that if you will pray and seek God he will show you the truth of the LDS religion
C.) Uh dunno...

Thank you for participating.

The correct answers will be posted soon and you can check your score!
