I don't feel the need to proselytize here. My salvation and my relationship with my Savior and God are not the business of anyone, especially one who feels the need to profess loyalty to a religion that considers all Christians fallen away and apostate. I have no desire or need to preach to those who are unreachable...God will do that in His own time.

You won't "proselytize" in favor of your beliefs, but you will attack, defame, and belittle my beliefs? That seems rather one-sided.

I do not feel the need to proselytize here either. However, I will defend my faith against unfair or untrue attacks.

If the anti-Mormons stop attacking, I will stop defending.

I'm sure you will...however there is a tendency on the part of you apologists to see ANY factual information posted on the mormon religion or Joseph Smith as unfair and untruthful . The use of the "victim card has been a tactic of the LDS for over one hundred years.

"you will attack, defame, and belittle my beliefs" Remember Joseph Smith's declaration:

 19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: “they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the gpower thereof.”

  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

Games aren't won by playing defense.
