Well, I just checked out Scientology and got back, "Outlook not so Good."
Asked whether I need to live polygamy: "As I see it, Yes."

Eeeny, Meeny, Minee, Mo...
Is this church true I want to know.
To get to heaven I must pay
Ten percent every day?
My momma told me to pick the very best one and you are NOT it!

I think casting lots was mostly a tool used for picking early apostles.
