Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of the Mormon Church, actually performed A.S.K. just as our buddy Drich here describes. The result? At 14 years of age, he got what he perceived to be an answer from God the Father and Jesus Christ, which led him to label all denominations as abominations in the eyes of The Lord. People believed he was a prophet sent forth to restore the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We know enough now to say that the man was sorely mistaken about the entire affair. If a person who truly believed that god had answered him could be demonstrably wrong, then all other people following A.S.K. should take Smith's example into account when trying get their own answers from god.
Joseph Smith was sincere as I'm sure Drich believes himself to be. Why should we consider anything Drippy has to say when this proscribed method has been proven ineffectual? Let's assume for a moment that Mormonism hasn't been completely turned on its head since its initial inception; why is Joseph Smith Jr. wrong while Drich is supposedly correct?
Hmmm, maybe I should have made the above post into its own thread. However, if I had done that, then I wouldn't have been able call Drich out on his A.S.K.
