From your uninformed perpesctive that is a reasonable view. You might also, never having been burned by fire, tell me that your soup is 'HOT'. Given your lack of perspective you think your are right when you tell me that fire is also hot.
Many religions can and do control to an extent....A "soup is hot" extent.
I have burned in the FIRE of a works righteous cult. I have felt a tinge of hell on earth that nearly killed me. You have no more concept of what we warn others about than the man who has had soup but never been burned by fire.
You claim you do not like religion which I compare to soup, how much more then would you not like mormonism which I because of my experience liken unto fire ?
You mock soup (religion) because it is hot, then mock us because we warn of the heat of fire (mormon cult) ? What exactly is your point ?
Consider that God put us here to warn you so that you do not need to burn, as we did, before you believe.
I’m not mocking religion, I am not practicing religion.
As far as I can see, religion is a mechanism for control, and those who practice it also seek to control, in fact they believe that they were commanded by God to control and are thus justified in doing so.
I do not believe in that.
