His Character-Merciful … Who is God that He should care for me? Even though we forget who He is, we see time and again He didn’t forget about us as we see His mercy woven into every society since time began. Humanity’s focus shifts from era to era and the altars we’ve built stand as reminders of our rebellion. The image above is the depiction of altars and temples men have built to either honor the God of the Bible or a manmade version thereof.
Mormons say their temples serve as a place to worship their god, however, the works they perform inside only serve as an altar to earn godhood status.

Why Latter-day Saints Build Temples; “From the days of the Old Testament, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples-sacred structures where He could teach, guide, and bless them…When Jesus Christ was on the earth, the only existing temple was known as the Temple of Herod…After the rejection and deaths of Jesus’ Apostles, there were no temples on the earth for many centuries. When the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored in the early 1800s, the Lord again commanded His people to build temples (see D&C 88:119; see also section 95).”
