That is, they're insane. Apart from that, all the mormons I've ever met (maybe two?) are pretty cool people. [/quote] You want insanity? How about Jehovah's Witnesses? There are very few here in Korea, but I met one on the subway once quite a few years ago and he told me that only 144,000 people are destined to go to heaven (this is the traditional number of the twelve tribes of Israel, by the way). I'm pretty sure there are more than 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in the world, and when I asked him about this incongruity he said something to the effect of, "we can't know if we are destined or not, so we should live our lives as if we were." I then asked him that if I were destined, wouldn't that mean that I would go to heaven no matter what I did--and that if I [i]weren't [/i]destined I would [i]not[/i] be going to heaven no matter what? He told me I was looking at it the wrong way. Hmm.
