I'm one person who always tries to strive for truth, so I do see your point of view, however this is one thing that we can't simply know, and that's the only reason that I think religion is something that should be chosen based on what works best and what makes you happiest. Yes, we should all strive for truth, but we don't know what comes after this life, and we more-than-likely never will (Unless the rapture happens and we all realize that God is real or something, which is a possibility) until we die. We'll never know what the right one is, and that's the only reason I follow the "whatever works best" philosophy.

And I suppose there's a difference in Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ. But, it's only because Jesus claimed to be a savior, while Joseph Smith did not. Joseph Smith is no different than anyone else who wrote books of the New or Old testament. Jesus didn't add a word to the bible, however prophets of God did. If you believe those prophets, then isn't it safe to say that there's a possibility that God chose another prophet to write more to his Great Book? I'm not saying I agree with either side, I'm just trying to enlighten some people to the possibility. The Old Testament was written by prophets, the New was written by prophets, and The Book of Mormon was written by a prophet...Seems consistent to me.

Uhm... try again. The Book of Mormon was not written by Joseph Smith, only translated by him through the Uram and thumam or whatever. Also, many people believe that Christ did not have to die when he did being the literal son of God. They suggest that he merely died after he completed his atonement in which he suffered extreme pain to pay for all of our sins. Now thats not to say sinning doesnt matter anymore, it just says that now we have the ability to actually repent and be (for most cases) forgiven of these sins.
