Comment by Nicholas on December 12, 2011 at 11:14pm Paradise Lost is by John Milton and was written in the 1600's. It is a long poem about Lucifer's fall from Heaven. It isn't about the Indians. Professor Anthon was a scholar who saw some of the "reformed Egyptian characters" from the BoM. I am not sure where you got all of this information but this is pretty far out in left field. I am however interested in reading Kingdom of the Cults. It can be found http://www.waltermartin.com/cults.html
Yes the BOM is a fraud but so is the New Testament. It is about a man that Paul and the Gospel writers never met and the writers attribute Jesus with all the attributes the pagan gods were accredited with. There is not one thing that Jesus did that a pagan god did not do previously. To attract converts the early Christians had to make Jesus equal and better with qualities that the average superstitious person could associate with. So if one is going to put their faith in a book then please study it in the context of the period it was written.
