Why do all organised religions claim to own god?

Whether it be mormons, Jehovah's witnesses ,muslism,catholics etc they all claim that they own god and if you don't convert it's death for you. It pisses me off and i know the concept of organised religion is this man made phenonemon though up by control freaks. If i were god i'd be pretty mad that people claim they own me and decide for him that if you don't join them your dead. What a crock!

    What makes you think that all organized religions claim to own God? In theory, the Catholic Church holds that there is no salvation outside the Church. However, the doctrine of invincible ignorance means that many non-Catholics, and even non-Christians, can be saved as long as they obey the natural law.

    You really ought to study a bit more about the religions you claim to understand.

    Because to gain followers (that will contribute money to your church so that you have a job), you must convince them that you know what god thinks, and what will happen to them after they die.
