Engaging in commerce and touching money are two different things. So are you confirming that Mormons believe they will go to hell if they come into contact with money? That's what mackster's claim sounded like to me.
Unreal.
I grew up in the religion. You are asked to keep the sabbath holy, a day of rest. Some people take it to extremes. Those who don't aren't going to hell because of it, in the eyes of the religion. Same with caffeine ingestion.
