Yes, Mormons speak of “outer darkness”—the hell-place reserved for Satan and the “sons of perdition” who defected from God during the War in Heaven. But for all the mortals who have ever sinned on Earth, there is no fire, no brimstone—only a temporary “spiritual prison” for the unrepentant. And even those sinne…

Instead I get directed to this tour company and a few others, because clearly this is part of their package. I mean, I could be staying at the Makkah Hilton, you know. Fortunately, I am not, because the online search shows hotels that are so large, I think I would just go out of my mind for some peace. This hotel is only…
