I'm quite ignorent in this matter, I have not read the Bible since I don't have much time in my life, I'm very busy now.
I just thought of this question and I thought it might be an interesting topic of debate.

interesting.. But I have lived my life well and have followed the basic rules.. Should I be damned to Hell just because I have too much homework or because my mom has to work a second job since she's a single parent? Thats kind of messed up if I go to Hell just for having one parent!

You need a sadistic master that you worship
You create a BS brainwashing Doctrine
You spread the word to people with money!

It's far easier to simply alter an existing one.
The most famous examples are the alterations to Christianity performed by Jim Jones or David Koresh. Less violent examples include Martin Luther (Protestantism), the Quakers, and the Shakers - all examples of significant religions that are alterations of an original core religion.
Even Christianity is an alteration of the Jewish faith.

Interesting, Jesus said there would be some who wouldn't make it to heaven because they were too busy.
But most false religions are created by people inspired by demons.
Luke 14:
18: And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19: And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20: And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

Hey orderly, how exactly was your church "created?"
People get a grip. Just because the mormon church is more recent doesnt mean it wasnt started in the same manner that every other sect has been created. Every sect has leaders that didnt like what the other churches were teaching so they started their own and changed doctrines to suit what they didnt like. Yet somehow mormons are so different.
I believe Christ set up my church, you believe he set up yours. I dont get where people like you think you have any more credibility to stand on when it comes to biblical interpretations.

Salesmanship.
All you have to do is look at the Mormon church or Scientology....both relatively new churches created by one man each.
Both make millions, even billions in tithing, donations and holdings.....tax free.

Go to a third world country where education is minimum and you can make them believe whatever you want

Read about the creation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's educational and entertaining.
