#BookReview for "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer
Important book. Very disturbing content.
We have records on the beginnings of Mormonism, and can learn disturbing lessons about how religions form. Classic cult tactics. Emotional manipulation, obsession with sex, emphasis on blind obedience to leaders and voices in your head, misogyny, racism. Don't just knock the LDS church: this should make us think about religion in general.
