Every time I see somebody attempt to attack LDS doctrine, they either do so in a way that leaves their denomination/mainline Christianity open to criticism, they go on some gish gallop where they just dump a bunch of links attacking Mormonism to me, or they play the game of just admonishing me as a heretic without an argument.
I've yet to see a convincing attack on it that didn't rely on appeals to emotion, authority, or begging the question.
It's not "insane" in the sense that there's no logic to it. The core thesis that there was a Great Apostasy and a ton of lost teachings that aren't found anywhere in Patristics just makes it implausible imo.
You basically have to believe it was all lost at once the very moment the apostle John died, which is possible, but I don't believe it. It's unlikely.
