I had a long talk with a Mormon yesterday. I learned a lot.

- Modern Mormons believe that only a tiny minority of people will go to Hell. Almost all will bend the knee and kiss the ring of Christ.
- They believe you don’t have to accept Christ in this world. It’s fine to accept him in future worlds that you experience after you die.
- Most local Mormons are Filipino. I had a mental image of them being mostly white.
- They redefine words such as “condemned” to mean “a temporary pause in progress” and “eternal punishment” to mean “God’s punishment which does not last forever”.
- They consider much/most of scripture to be metaphorical, including the stuff about the planet Kolob and all those goddess wives you’re supposed to get. They don’t think any of that was meant literally.

Obviously none of this applies to Mormons of 50 or 100 years ago. Isa and I will be going to a big event at a huge Mormon Church here on Saturday. Let’s see if we convert.
