Why do some say the BOA is fraudulent when they have no evidence?
and know nothing about it in sufficient detail to hold an opinion?
For instance, when antis say that when the papyrus fragments of the BOA was discovered in 1977 it was proof that Joseph Smith invented the whole BOA because the amount of inscriptions on the hypocephalus would hardly fill one page, do they understand what witnesses said about the size of the Papyrus scroll of the BOA and what scraps were actually found in 77, and, if they do, how do they make any kind of case that fits the evidence?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat does Jesus think about Inter-Faith events?
I saw this on the web and wondered if other Christians felt as good as I do about denominations coming together to bless communities. Read this and then please share your opinion in an answer.

More than 100 people of different Christian denominations gathered under the gazebo at Pioneer Park [St George UT] on Jan. 1 for the fourth annual Prayer over the City.
Local religious leaders prayed for public safety officials, U.S. military personnel, government, children, and families for 2009.
Jimi Kestin, pastor for Solomon's Porch Foursquare Fellowship, spread a message of love without conditions.
"We are putting aside the religious beliefs that separate us to set the tone for 2009," Kestin said.
Kestin organizes the prayer every year, he said, to give people an opportunity to thank God for the positive events in the previous year and ask for His blessing for the new year.
"We do this to start the year acknowledging our prosperity, health and protection is in God's hands," Kestin said
Before other religious leaders led prayers over the city, Mayor Dan McArthur lead the group in singing "Are you from Dixie." He then recited a poem about building bridges.
"I agree we're all here to build bridges for the better," he said.
The Rev. Eleazar Silva of the St. George Catholic Church gave a traditional blessing for the new year.
"We ask God to be with us in this new year and for the Lord to give us his grace to do good," Silva said.
Tom Lamb, chairman of the Southern Utah Public Affairs Council for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, lead the group in prayer for spiritual and economic prosperity.
Lamb prayed for all people to have the resources necessary to survive, and expressed gratitude for the pioneers who settled the sunny region he now calls home.

Is this good and commendable idea, or should the in-fighting continue?
