#166 - Starting Your Own Religion Can Be Tricky in American Fork, Utah

This week, in American Fork, Utah, when two brothers from a very interesting background get excommunicated from the local church, they form their own belief system. These beliefs include some VERY weird things, to say the least, including several people who God has apparently told them to murder, starting with some family members. This is only the start of the crazy, as their explanations for their actions are even more bizarre! Along the way, we find out that it is definitely possible to be too religious, that just because you heard God say it, it doesn't mean God said it, and that starting your own religion may just be too difficult to do without murder!!
