NYT review of Hill Cumorah

I thought this last part was interesting:

"If you’re a Christian of any faith, trying to explain to an atheist how an old man built a ship and put two of everything in it, they’re going to look at you like you’re an alien,” Don Hass, 47, said before the show began. Mr. Hass, an Olympic bobsled coach, is not a member of the Church of Latter-day Saints, but he said he believes the stories in the pageant are true.

“It’s the same thing with the Book of Mormon,” he said. “You accept it on faith.”
