      Hear me out, Joseph Smith actually set a great example… that if you don’t agree with any of the existing religions, it’s fine to just believe whatever you want and not be a part of any of them. I just don’t see any reason I should try and convince anyone else to share my exact beliefs.

        Sorry but the Book of Mormon is literally a guide on running a patriarchal white ethnostate that Joseph Smith wrote while hopped up on Ephedra, aka old school speed. He created one of the most successful sex cults in American history. He was running for president when he was killed. Then Brigham Young literally tried to declare war on the federal government when they got to Utah because they thought it was their promised land. They also believed that it was better to kill sinners than to let them live (blood atonement).

        What you are saying is objectively wrong. If Smith and Young had their way, there would be a white ethnostate covering the Southwest of the nation.

    Isn’t it awesome that God makes sure that everyone in the world is all born into the one true religion? /s

      The only religion that makes any sense to me is the one in which God is a cruel dumbfuck.

    In the 1990s it was about 40K denominations of Christianity. And that’s not including non-denominational churches. In the US, we have a lot of non-denominational churches because our law enforcment worries that every NRM is a dangerous cult.

    Most NRMs are not dangerous (FBI and ATF are terrified of another Waco or Jonestown situation and harass NRMs relentlessly) but we have a conspicuous lot of non-denominational churches that are right-wing Protestant Evangelical that preach hate, and / or prosperity gospel. Our Unification Church cults are a little creepy, but our non-denoms can get really creepy.
