As far as the Mormon's believing that all people are going to heaven IS WRONG! Only if you are Mormon will you achieve the different levels of heaven. Joseph Fielding Smith once quoted what Brigham Young once said, "...no man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the Celestial Kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith". Right there the Mormons are saying unless we are Mormon we will not enter Heaven. Another quote from Brigham Young, "Every spirit that confesses that Joseph Smith is a Prophet, that he lived and died a Prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true, is of God, and every spirit that does not is of anti-Christ". I think it's about time that the Mormons start taking a deeper look into their religion. They believe what they are told to believe. From what I've been reading, there is a lot that MOST of them and their fellow church-goers don't even know about their own church. I'm much less than convinced that the Mormon is the true church. Joseph Smith claimed to do what Christ failed to do and that is establish His church. I find that blasphemous! I think before you start condemning me to eternal damnation you better start raking through the piles of rubble in your own backyards for some HONEST answers, not quotes from the Living Authority. Try the Bible!!!!!!!
