It's fascinating how much people lie about religions: from Christianity ("omg the croosaids were MOST DEATHS EVAR") to LDS ("WONK WONK OUTER DARKNESS LOONEY BULLSHIT") to Islam ("Religion of peace! Really!").
I swear that Soros busts a big fat load across a random sex slave every time one of you reckless faggots shitpost about religion.
The Crusades and Islam have been done to death, so let's address the bullshit in YOUR post:
1. Yes, there's lots of perks for staying in the church. I guess you think people should be punished for being part of a group?
2. Who the fuck cares what some 19th century guys said about other heavenly bodies? Until early 20th century (or early-mid), everyone thought Venus was a giant swamp and/or jungle, and that people lived on Mars. Nowadays, people believe in global warming. Whatever.
3. Those phrasings you mention are fucking cultural, not doctrinal. Bearing testimony IS doctrinal, but nobody really specifies what that means, beyond saying that members should testify in their belief in the Church, Christ, Joseph Smith, etc. Kids repeat stuff they hear a lot; if a given phrasing is common, they'll imitate it. Stop acting like this isn't 100% fucking typical in every single group of human beings in existence, including Holla Forums.
4. Gee, an ongoing progression of practice of faith. That actually kinda sounds like a good idea: besides, you're leaving out the part where EVERYONE gets their temple work done, even if it has to be done after the apocalypse during the reign of Christ. Nobody says "If you don't save your ancestors they're going to hell".
On that note, there IS no hell, per se, in Mormon doctrine. There is a "spiritual hell" that evil people live in between the time they die and when they're resurrected (Mormons teach that EVERYONE gets resurrected, not just members and not just "good people"), but a lot of Mormons think that this is the exact same place as the "spiritual heaven" that good people go to during the same time, and that it's simply a matter of whether you're stuck pondering your misdeeds or not (or perhaps it's a place that inherently is unpleasant to bad people–nobody knows).
The Mormon faith teaches there are basically 3 heavens: the LOWEST heaven is actually identical to the Christian heaven (perfect bodies, immortal, no illness, no material wants, etc.), and the highest heaven is where people go who are on track to become gods themselves.
So let's address "outer darkness": it isn't easy to go to outer darkness. You can't just be a faggot, or shitpost, or kill people–you have to hold the priesthood AND attack God personally. For one thing, this means that women CAN'T go to outer darkness, since they don't have the priesthood; it also means you have to try REALLY HARD to earn that particular punishment.
Even God feared man eating the fruit of life, for he would become "as god" himself. The only difference between LDS and Christianity is that LDS take the "heavenly father" concept rather literally and think we're all just little baby gods that can grow up to become like daddy some day if we don't fuck up. Christians are the ultimate fucking cucks–they simultaneously believe you should submit and turn the other cheek, and that the VERY BEST you can every achieve is to become a servant for all eternity. Christians also basically worship Jews, while the Mormon church believes the Jews are actually the most corrupted group of all, and that they will be the last to be saved, because they have fallen the furthest.
The really interesting thing is that Mormonism is more like the Nietzschian philosophy (and by extension, Hitler's ideals) than Christianity:
1. Excel in yourself
2. Make weakness into strength; merit begets merit
3. Become more than you are, ultimately to the point of becoming a God yourself
That sounds a great deal like the Ubermensch concept taken to the greatest possible extreme, and yet you cucks go around yammering "deus vult" like it's some kind of nigger-tier voodoo proof against corruption; meanwhile, the Mormons are making white babies, saving money and resources, stockpiling for disaster, and own a fuckton of guns. They're exactly the people you want on yourside, if you can get out of your mental cucksheds long enough to conceive that you may have allies.
That being said, I do have reservations about the upper levels of the church. The rank and file seem to have their heads on straight, but I really don't know why they've thrown their lot in with an obviously corrupt politician (Mitt) and turn a blind eye to the destruction of their own people. Of course, they're basically all super naive old men who've spent most of their lives in the cleanest and safest city in the US, so I'm not sure they really understand what the rest of the world is like.
