I practiced mormonism for about 5 days, when I was very young. Something that always confused me (and at the time upset me) was this idea that there is a heaven and in fact there are 3 different levels that you can arrive at. How does this work exactly? What if you want to go to heaven with your family but they are not quite as good as you, should you sin just a little to ensure an afterlife together??

Well Hillary, it does not work. Mormonism is phony. It was made up by Joseph Smith and is just as false as Jack and the Beanstalk and a whole lot more dangerous to people's souls. It's false from beginning to end.

Joseph Smiith did not make up mormonism.... he was just a man that believed in it enough to be considered a prophet after it's creation.

Have you researched it? I have. Joseph Smith, Jr., to be precise.

Now I will say there IS a story going around that Smith actually stole a fiction novel written by a preacher and wrote the Book of Mormon based on that novel - I don't know. But I do know that Joseph Smith, Jr., wrote the Book of Mormon - in other words, it's a made up story, and it is possible he plagiarized some of the story.
