Religion is organized superstition.
Donate it maybe? Or tailor it if you know how to sew.

He was shocked to see so many and see the quotes from the leaders.

It’s crazy to me to think I used to think like that, that I had the “whole truth” and I had “true happiness.” I had anything but that.

Yes! I agree with that. I do think it has to do with the value that people hold that causes them to leave. The little exmos that go to other religions seem to just accept what those religions say about Mormonism, rather that question what those religions claim is true as well.

Love that quote.

Yes, I would generalize it to that argument.

Well that makes me want to read the book now. Sounds fascinating.

I would agree, but I also wonder if it’s a bias I have towards them because I am more familiar with Mormons and the varieties of them.

Also, I know the structure of the Mormon church very well, but the evangelical church seems to be a chaotic mess.
