The funny part that is .... which book are you talking about? ... Christian bible? Jewish Tanakh? Islamic Koran? ... and if its Christian - is it just the Old Testament? New Testament? ... which version of the Christian bible? - King James? New Standard? English Standard? Anglican? Baptist? Lutheran? Methodist? Presbyterian? Roman Catholic? Mormon? Protestant?

I don’t see any difference between cults. It’s all a way to control uneducated people with fake magical thinking and the threat of eternal damnation.

Same here .... and they're all cults as far as I'm concerned

The only difference between a cult and a religion is time

Don't forget about all the apocrypha.

I reminded your mom of the apocrypha last night, if you know what I mean..

Mormons use the King James version. Or at least used to. Wouldn't surprise me if they started rewriting their own version, though... it's kinda' 99% of religions' MO.

Whichever one best justifies the lifestyle and decisions.
