Not sure, I'd ask someone who is Mormon. I don't know much about the religion besides what they've told me, but I was reassured that they don't marry 7 wives. If I remember correctly, Laharl got kind of offended about it.

Well, I did ask my Mormon friend... But he's prone to lying. And gambling.

There's no poligamy in Mormonism... in fact, you are excommunicated if you do such a thing.

...and it's definately the most powerful, richest and most quickly spreading with more missionaries than any other religion.

10% of every member's income goes to the church plus more. Fast offerings too. The church has more raw money and money in temples than any other religion ever.

And that is why the rest of the world has locked up all the mormons in Utah.

PS - I hope you aren't using the data of the post-mortem conversions that the mormons are prone to using... interesting tactic to inflate ones numbers, wouldn't ya say?

Uh.. Mormonism is a form of Christianity... You know.. people who believe Christ was the living embodiment of God and the savior of their eternal souls.

When I talked to Casey about it once he said he had a huge problem with the idea of the trinity and believed in the separation (for lack of a better word) of God and Jesus.

To be honest, I never really thought about the idea of God and Jesus being one until I went to Mass with you.

So this guy predicted what so many popes to come were like, and because the list ends two popes after John Paul II, everyone thinks it's the doom of the religion.

People, there's an end to every list. Stop being sadistic and predicting doom every time we approach the end of them.

There's also a reason the Mayan calander ended...

Young Hitueck was working on the numbering system, in far off Maya land when all of a sudden, on the horizon, he spied white sails.

"Hey, guys! Come take a look at this!" He yelled in his native tounge.

"But, young Hitueck, you're supposed to be numbering. This calender will go on forever... Then, we can stop buying those stupid Far Side Calandars that we peel all of the comics off of on the first day."

The rest of the Mayans sighed. How much money had they shelled out on Far Side Calanders before they had learned their lesson? Too much.

"But," Young Hitueck countered, "There are white thingies floating towards us!"

"I do like white things..." The chief sighed.

"Especially one's that float!"

The began to climb down from wherever they were, and walked to the shore.

Several people began to get off what the Mayans now recognized were boats. They came bearing Far Side Calanders and other assorted goods that the Mayans desperatley needed.

Fifteen minutes later, the Mayans were all dead...

And that, young forum browsers, is why the Mayan calander ended when it did.

I love storytime.

lame story

i hate you

nearly ever day since the beginning of time (or something close to it) has been predicted as "the day the world will end." either by crazy lunatics or respectable people, whether it's recorded openly or kept secret to someone's grave.

EDIT: I guess before human existance doesn't count. (thanks jewpin)

Also, why would we trust a culture that existed hundreds of hundreds of years ago that didn't have advanced technologies (i know that's a little arrogant, but the point still stands). I know that they have been the most acculrate culture to predict astronomical occurances, but if they saw/prdeicted something that we still haven't deduced, either the mayans were on a much higher level than us, or they were actually wrong. There could be a million different things that could end the world, but for a culture to predict it that far away, is extremely improbable.

i conclude with my guess, the world ending on december 21/22, 2012 is the chance of me winning lottery without buying a ticket.

Well, better start packing.

I highly doubt dinosaurs such of such things process.

Mal, that is complete horseshit, and you are entirely wrong. Mormons are nothing like that, I know because I'm baptized Mormon, and used to be a very active member.

For starters, they don't marry multiple wives, just one. Get a realization outside of movies before you start bashing something. On top of that, they are exactly the same as Christians, they worship the bible etc. The only difference is they believe that Jesus was active in two parts of the world at once. The whole idea of the second area that Christ was in, is talked about in The Book Of Mormon.

As for the Utah crack that Tassel made, fuck you too. You're an idiot. I live in Virginia, and we have about 7 Mormon churches, that are large, and absolutely FULL of people. The only reason that anyone EVER refers to Utah as being signifigant to this religion is because The Brigham University is located there, which as you may know, is a Mormon college.

Now, before anyone suggests that I am straying off of topic... I actually quit attending the Mormon church, and now do believe in the Mayans Calendar. I have done my research, and I believe whole-heartedly that there's a good chance that the world will end in 2012. If it doesn't...great. I'm not positive on anything, but it makes perfectly logical sense to me.

EDIT: I saw someone mention Trinity (Guido I believe it was) and yes, they do believe in God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, being one. In Trinity however, they also believe there are three parts of heaven, and they call this Se-Tur-Tel. It's kind of a way to remember it in abbreviation, from how I learned it. They believe that there are three levels of heaven, in which you must surpass the first two to actually get there. 1. Serrestial. 2.Turrestial, and 3. Telesstial. Telesstial being the actual heaven, and the bottom 2 levels being a sort of work area/prison to guide you and cleanse you before coming to heaven. (This is why I left the Mormon church, but I have absolutely NO disrespect for it)

Woah... Wtf? I just asked my friends why polygamy came around originally and that's what he said. I never said they still practiced it. You need to learn to read a tad bit better, little girl. Why don't you get mad at Jewpin for saying that dinosaurs didn't have intelligent thought processes?

And next time you fly off the handle, wait until your period is over. Then you'll probably make more sense.
