"All of your religions are equal to me, all claims to Truth equally valid."

How very broad minded of you. I guess one could say that you're dogmatically relativistic.

"Admittedly, some are far more entertaining than others.

Oh yes, I agree completely. And nothing is more entertaining than watching someone who claims to find "all religions equal...all claims to Truth equally valid" pretending to be open minded.

There are a lot of people out there who believe Joseph Smith's writings to be legitimate, and would defend that belief, and the belief in everything he wrote. Some of them are probably reading this. If you don't believe that way, why not? He has the truth, doesn't he? Basically, to me none of you have anything that has been able to prove your claims to be any more valid than the others.

It goes to the old saying "I'll tell you why I reject your religion as true when you can tell me how you can reject thousands of other religions as false, claiming yours to be true."

Or to put it another way: What's the difference between an atheist and a Christian? An atheist simply rejects only one more god as false than the Christian does. I mean, rejecting 1,000 or rejecting 1,001, not much of a difference.
