This is a pretty reductive and absolute statement to make when the position varies across the many, many different branches of the faith. https://en.wikipedia.

  It's literally in their bible. Anyone claiming otherwise is not following it. All those institutions listed in the wikipedia article are not following their faith, but are modern liberalized watered down, and attempting to be hip and "keep up with the times". They caved to pressure.

    > are modern liberalized watered down, and attempting to be hip and "keep up with the times" As was every transliteration, translation and revised version of their religious texts over time. As was the new testament to the old. Likely very little that is practiced today reflects the "original" version of the religions, whatever that may be.

      Yes, they corrupted the bible and their religion, we know that, and that's the point I was making. The trinity being a major invention for example. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't remnants and fragments of Truth from the original Message.
