Why I am NOT a Christian

Degeneracy of Worship Incident to the Apostasy-That, as the Priesthood disappeared from the earth after the apostolic period, the forms of worship were perverted, while many pagan influences and practises crept in, may be reasonably inferred from the records of history. Mosheim, an authority of note in ecclesiastical history, has this to say regarding pagan innovations during the fourth century: "The Christian bishops introduced, with but slight alterations, into the Christian worship, those rites and institutions by which, formerly, the Greeks and Romans and other nations had manifested their piety and reverence towards their imaginary deities; supposing that the people would more readily embrace Christianity if they saw that the rites handed down to them from their fathers still existed unchanged among the Christians, and perceived that Christ and the martyrs were worshiped in the same manner as formerly their gods were. There was, of course, little difference, in these times, between the public worship of the Christians and that of the Greeks and Romans. In both alike, there were splendid robes, mitres, tiaras, wax tapers, crosiers, processions, illustrations, images, golden and silver vases, and numberless other things." (James E. Talmage, Articles of Faith, p.442)
The Lord has revealed to me that the "woman clothed in scarlet" sitting up the beast with seven heads, is Apostate Christianity which Constantine made the state religion, the relilgion of Rome which state power is beastly power. Now the beast is ruled by the "little horn more stout than its fellows" which beast would "wear out the Saints of the Most High" getting them to changes times and laws according to the perversion of this beastly power. It was Protestant ministers (harlots from the Catholic Mother of Harlots seen by John) who murdered Joseph and Hyrum Smith in 1844.
