...is supposed to be the Light of the World? You know, don't hide your light under a bushel and all that. I suppose they might quote Matthew about "shutting the door and praying in private", but that's about not making a flashy show of your faith.
They just can't admit that the temple is a secret club filled with ridiculous made up crap mixed with rip-offs of Masonry and other stuff (stuff the BoM condemns, by the way). The penalties were originally there to put enough scare into folks that they wouldn't spill the beans on this scam even if some dirty faced ruffians (like pretty much any non-mormon bad guy looks in a church movie) and cut their throat.
Dontcha think Jesus would *want* these super sacred things to be known?
Sacred not secret, my ass.
