Religion, a matter of convenience

I found myself agreeing with my dad about the above statement. I further found myself arguing my points to support this claim.
  1. If everyone uses a different Bible, then there is no final declaration what is right and wrong.
  2. If I don’t like something, or I want to do my own thing, I’ll just draft my own Bible.
  3. See Alma 1:17
  4. This jihad pushed by those fetchers.
Gary said people are left to their own interpretations anyway and there is no other way. I agreed in part.

That is what a modern day prophet is for. Unfortunately, I didn’t testify of it. Oh well, I’ll just bring it up tomorrow.

Later, Tim informed my somewhat on how the Catholic Church governs its people. Sounded reasonable that they have a modern day voice, I just don’t accept it as revelation. I mean where are the twelve apostles like it was in Jesus’ time? Where are the seventies? Who is this Pope guy and where did he get his authority?

So what does any of that have to do with Religion being a matter of convenience?
