...places are reserved for them in paradise. Upon death, therefore, every worthy Druze is said to be reborn as another Druze; for the same reason, converts are not accepted and intermarriage is not encouraged. The Druze neither drink nor smoke nor swear. They steadfastly observe complete submission to God, mutual support, repudiation of all other religions and strict truthfulness.

...Second Mouse, a psychology student, had learned to categorize all aspects of human behavior and was qualified to counsel. But many of her judgments struck me as superficial and off-the-mark. While listening to one outlandish analysis after another of mutual friends and acquaintances, whose innocuous behavior she ascribed to twisted motives and deep-hidden Freudian urges. I kept in mind the fact that she herself had remained with an abusive husband for eight years. On top of it all, at 30 years of age, she was a veritable social cripple, self-conscious to the point of timidity...
