However, I will defend my faith against unfair or untrue attacks.

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.”

Remember Joseph Smith's declaration . . . .

Yes, I remember it quite well. Joseph Smith says he received a revelation from God telling him that the existing Christian churches were in error. Indeed, he said that their creeds were an abomination.

You believe otherwise. Fine. State your reasons for believing that your branch of Christianity is right. (That is something you have refused to do.)

But your disagreement with Joseph Smith's revelation does not excuse you from the obligation of being truthful, fair, and civil in dealing with others—even Mormons.

In other words, your belief that Joseph Smith was a scoundrel does not give you license to become a scoundrel yourself.

Good night to you.
