I think I was trained to do that growing up in the church. I was told over and over and over and over, if you play with it, you will go blind.

I guess I just learned something that is important, you need to repeat over and over and over again.

My list would go on and on. But I'm curious. Nobody has a problem with the Book of Mormon? That would be in my top 3, probably nosing out the Pearl of Great Price because of the latter's lesser prominence.

#1 on your list should be belief in the Holy Ghost.

One of my big questions/concerns with the BOM is this -- would God really change the skin color of some people b/c of something they did?

you don't have to believe that. it's figurative, IMO. or represents intermarriage with another group with darker skin.

Do you have a problem with the Bible too. I think if one could believe the Bible, it should be easy for them to believe the Book of Mormon

I have no problems with the Bible per se. I revere the Bible. It's a grand old book. A great book.
