All of religion and all of popular science are cults. You can't prove god exists, and you can't prove god doesn't exist. Anyone that bets their entire being on either theory is an intellectually bankrupt fucking retard and is the reason Casinos and the Lottery not only exist but thrive. Or as I like to call it the stupid tax. I'm not defending Mormons either, their religion was a good excuse to send young men off on "missionary work" so the old church leaders could indoctrinate their girlfriends into their pedo harems. Anyone who has done a decent amount of research into Mormonism understands why it was made up. They aren't unique in this regard either, pretty much all religion is set up to get stupid people to work together for a common "goal" that a few higher ups can benefit off of. Just like how you all complain about corrupt government while circle jerking about your religious institutions that are also butt fucking you in the same exact way. Lastly, Christian religions have some decent parables/lessons/common sense in them but they have also had several additions added in that probably weren't part of the original idea hence religions branching off into all manner of subreligions full of their own brand of degeneracy while pretending they're pure. It's why the bible suddenly goes from love thy nieghbour and don't be a faggot to BURN ANYONE WHO SLIGHTLY DISAGREES WITH YOU AND SLEEP WITH YOUR DEAD BROTHERS GIRL level 180 degree turn in logic.
