“Don’t you believe that Christ is God? Don’t you believe that Christ is the God of Abraham? I am sorry, you must not believe that the true religion existed until Christ was born, that is interesting.”
I didn’t say anything of the sort. You miss the point entirely, as is so often your way. If Mormons claim to be the true faith and the book of Mormon predates Christ, then what the Mormons are actually saying (if they are indeed restoring a true church) is that everyone else is a failed Mormon.
I know that is hard to understand, and that is my point - Mormonism thrives on the confusion of terms. But don’t get mad at me, get mad at the apologists.
I will try and break it down so that I don't miss the point.

Your attempt at logic doesn't make any sense. First "and the book of Mormon predates Christ" isn't an argument. Nor is the second part. I will simplify your statement ^_^
If the Mormon religion is true then none of the other religions are true. Would you consider that an accurate summation of what you were trying to say in such an obtuse fashion?
Isn't that what the Pope just said about the Catholic religion?
