Since some people on here insist on misusing the word religion...?

Or maybe a sheep farm, or a cash receptacle.

when you say a ring of slaves are you saying a cult like all religions brand each other. or a mind control group? or a secret combination of conspiracies and secrets. i think if people ever felt forced to stay in a religion, it would be more like facism and devil worship. not true undefiled religion

by definition, religion = a way of life.

in absolute purest form, a true religion would be an "organized" system that meets spirituality and social needs of the mind as well as some economic salvation. (otherwise why would we be commanded to feed the sheep and pay tithes for a storehouse?)

anyway, i dont know who "rubbed" you the wrong way, but whatever happened, i do disagree what you think about religion. even if what you have seen is true. conclusively, the wrong things you have seen are not the true church of God. God ordained the church and religion and priesthood even before He created Man

The Second Death

Hear it, all ye ends of the earth —all ye priests, all ye sinners, and all men. Repent! Repent! Obey the gospel. Turn to God; for your religion won’t save you, and you will be damned. I do not say how long. There have been remarks made concerning all men being redeemed from hell; but I say that those who sin against the Holy Ghost cannot be forgiven in this world or in the world to come; they shall die the second death. Those who commit the unpardonable sin are doomed to Gnolom—to dwell in hell, worlds without end. As they concocted scenes of bloodshed in this world, so they shall rise to that resurrection which is as the lake of fire and brimstone. Some shall rise to the everlasting burnings of God; for God dwells in everlasting burnings and some shall rise to the damnation of their own filthiness, which is as exquisite a torment as the lake of fire and brimstone.

No, you sound like someone made you mad.
