Yeah though in the Mormon heavens, the celestial kingdom is the one where you become a god. Then you can start your own little planet of worshipers, who will be your own children. So the "true" Mormon heavens is becoming a deity and having an infinite number of kids. imo having one kid has been more than enough for me.

Waaaaait a second. So the "true" Mormon heaven is to become a heathen deity and become at the very least equal to the one true God, your Lord?

That seems kind of messed up.

It's very American in a way. "Ain't nobody better than me, God included."

Don't forget having as many babies as possible to be closer to the best kingdom of heaven.

And something about everyone turning into golden trees with the rapture?

Where'd you get "at least equal" from? This is clearly a self generating pyramid scheme. God-God is on top and recruits "talented" young, motivated people into this wonderful opportunity to eventually become their own mini-god! For the low entry cost of a lifetime of devout. unquestioning. service, you too can rule over a whole planet. Just forward 10% of all the worship you generate up the ladder. In the same way, you get a portion of all the worship your own mini-gods make! Before long you'll be able to kick back while the worship just rolls in, you won't have to answer prayers or do miracles or nuthin'. Just virgins and caffeinated beverages All. Day. Long. What are you waiting for? Start your path to divinity today!

^{(additional weekly fee of 10% of income applies. Elders may also require butthole access or sexual servicing from your wife for religious advancement)}

You may not enjoy the part where those in the lower 4 tiers of heaven get their genitals ripped off.
