No, although I am no longer a Christian so my opinion is of little consequence.

I'm going to regret asking this: Tweed what do you think?

I'd answer no, as Joseph Smith rejected the NT and therefore the central text of Christianity.  but as a non-Christian I'm not all that qualified to answer.

They accept the New Testament only if it is the version edited by Joseph Smith.  Which is a pretty serious claim to be making, IMO...

As I said, the Church reads from only the authorized King James Version of the Bible.

The authorized version which Joseph Smith used to plagiarize sections into the Book of Mormon?  The authorized version which was edited on Smith's whims without any other text to translate from?

No. Joseph Smith was a liar and a false prophet who established a false religion of lies.

Can something like this not be said of all religions?

I agree with both statements here, actually...
