Will any old Jesus do?
I have been to several Churches that have so called pictures of Jesus portraying him as a womanish looking man or maybe not a man which is against scripture, not that i have anything at all against the looks of a woman, i like them very much, but a man that looks like a woman, no, no.
But it is said that the picture was painted by a homosexual which is self explaining so why would any one worship an image of that kind when there is no scripture to back it up not to mention the fact that it goes against the very nature of God and man.
Unless they just want to worship something and don,t care what, or they want to be involved in a club of some kind which seems to be the case, and in that case the moose or elks would have the same affect in their lives.
As far as Mormons are concerned most of them are like other Church goers, they probably do not do much reading of the scriptures themselves, they let some one else do it for them and interpret it the way that suits them.

Even more so. In Mormonism, the focus is on feelings, they are discouraged from thinking for themselves or researching.
Many (if not most) Christian pastors I know encourage their flock to study the Bible and research.
Also in Mormonism there is a famous quote “When the prophet speaks, the thinking has been done”. I thought myself out of Mormonism.
When I left Mormonism, I ended up getting a degree in Biblical Studies, in part to unlearn what I had been taught in that cult.
