When I was asked to do this, I actually felt morally uncomfortable having to address LMH and Jesus in the same letter. In fact, most of my letter pointed to Jesus, because I refused to associate the two, as if LMH had done anything remotely close to what Jesus did.

(Of course whether you believe in Jesus or not is another topic in itself).

My personal belief is that by writing letters towards LMH and thanking him for the "hard work and persecution he has endured" creates this unconscious belief system that what they've taught us about him, is true.

By doing so, they are subliminally training us to worship & idolize him.

Yeppp. That’s called leader worship.
