Koresh was the leader of a real cult. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints is not a cult by any definition. The members of the LDS live and work
among the general public and you cannot tell us from the rest of society.

Unless you have evidence that the "brass" in the LDS Church do anything
unethical, you can keep your nonsense to yourself.

So?

Some joke.

And here we have yet another attempt at attack. Your knowledge of cults matches
your knowledge of everything else you try to pontificate on... non-existent.
