Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

You're lumping belief in revelation together with naivité. The Catholic Church doesn't just accept any testimony of a revelation for fact. There are in fact criteria that need to be met, just like in empericism for one to be accepted.

In my case, I don't accept Joseph Smith's revelations just like I don't accept Muhammed as a prophet. Of course, that doesn't mean that Mormons and Muslims can't hold their believes.

You mean this?

I know where this conversation is going and I am already bored by the next answer that you could write. 

So, because I simply don't care what the church thinks of revelations, as much as you do the same for all the other religions out there, I will end the conversation here. The church doesn't have the monopoly on the decision of what is true or not. It's pointless to argue about it as well as it is pointless to argue wether Joseph Smith read from some golden plates or not. It all ends in special pleading. I just don't want to go the path only to confirm it. 

If it's all pointless to you then I will end this pointless conversation as well.
