Yes! Since many temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are located on high ground and have a giant metal statue on the top, they are quite often struck by lightning. Usually the lightning strikes do little or no damage, but occassionally damage the Angel Moroni statue on top. The church has had to replace at least 3 statues due to lightning damage.

Is it true that if you get sruck by lightning you can see the future?
No, it is not true that getting struck by lightning can enable someone to see the future. Lightning strikes can cause severe injuries, including neurological damage, but they do not grant any supernatural abilities or powers. Any claims of seeing the future after being struck by lightning are purely fictional.

Why do you think the Empire State Building is struck so many times?

Why are the pyramid on top of the Mormon temples?
Most, but not all, temples and churches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have a steeple on top of or adjacent to the main building. This is not meant to resemble a pyramid in any way, it is in following a popular Christian tradition to have a steeple on religious buildings. The steeple is meant to draw the eye upward toward God and to identify that the building has a sacred purpose. No Mormon temple has a 'pyramid' on top, and the pyramid has no symbolic meaning in Mormonism. Many steeples on Mormon temples feature a gold statue of the angel Moroni, who is heralding the return of Jesus Christ. Mormon churches usually have plain steeples. Check out the "Related Links" below to see example images of steeples on various Mormon buildings.
Does Mexico or New Mexico have temples?
You mean modern temples such as Christian, Baptist or Mormon? In that case both qualify as such. Ancient temples built by Native American civilizations are usually found in central and southern Mexico (the country). In northern Mexico and New Mexico, most peoples were semi-nomadic, meaning few (if any) buildings, including temples, exist.
On Mormon Temples what direction does the Angel Moroni point his horn and why?
There is no set direction in which the Angel Moroni points. And in fact, as of 2013, eight Mormon Temples don't have any Angel Moroni statue at all. Eight additional temples have received a statue several years after their dedication to help identify them as Mormon Temples. On most temples, the angel statue faces east if possible. This is supposedly because Moroni is meant to be heralding or signaling the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, whom is often associated with the east in scripture; but this is more of a tradition than an official belief or practice. There are several temples where the angel faces another direction simply because of the direction of the building or the lot it was built on. On five temples (Seattle, Manilla Philippines, Taipei Taiwan, Spokane, and Nauvoo, Illinois), the angel faces due west because the temple faces west.
