I'm currently reading "The Kingdom of the Cults" by Dr. Walter Martin. Its a really good book for debating against Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons. Also, another book called "The Agony of Deceit" by Michael Horton which talks about the Word of Faith movement corruption.
It is absolutely ridiculous how the LDS church breeds group mentality. I know some of you are probably going,"But wait, this guy said he was LDS in the introductions?!?!?!" I don't really trust any religion. I trust what I find for myself. But every religion breeds some sort of attitude that is harmful at times. Here, i'll even make a list.
MormonsRepressed sexuality and almost like a fear of explaining the details of sex to kids because it's uncomfortable to talk about.
A cult like style of thinking
The belief that the group is more important than the individual
ChristiansRuling by fear of damnation.(History says so)
Going overboard on beliefs
Narrow mindedness
Constantly saying that there is no way that the book of mormon is not true when someone Jewish will tell you the same thing about the new testament.
JewishAnd as for the Jewish faith, I do not have enough knowledge of those beliefs, so i'll say nothing on them since I know practically nothing.
And don't say i'm attacking religion either please, I'm just pointing out some of the negative things that religion can and does at times breed. I even threw my own faith in there too.
