Show Notes

One of the things the leaders of the LDS church and its members are very proud of proclaiming is that - unlike the rest of the world - their religion teaches not to "idolize" anything or anyone other than God himself (and perhaps his son, Jesus Christ). Besides the blatant visual or physical evidences to the contrary (such as the golden statues of Moroni on the tops of multi-million dollar temples), is there a deeper, more elusive doctrine or culture that may contradict the claim? Does the church "plant trees of idols" in the hearts and minds of the membership?
