Heaven

In Mormonism heaven is drastically different than the Biblical view. Mormons divide heaven into three kingdoms, the bottom of which Mormons have simultaneous, contradictary notions about. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth and suffering and regret and pining and pain, yet it will be happier there, purportedly, than we can ever dream of. "We'll go where we are the most comfortable", as they say.

Mormonism is quite willing to suppose that people can be happy without Jesus. Jesus only visits the Terrestrial Kingdom, and the Telestial Kingdom is devoid of Jesus. Yet, as Mormons say, both will be full of happiness.

Neither is the Celestial Kingdom that focused on Jesus. While Christians look to heaven as the enjoyment of Christ, Mormons describe the happiness of heaven primarily in the thought of being with family. This has been criticized by many for its impracticality. If the gods are not omnipresent, can only be in one place at one time, and have billions of children and potentially scores of wives and inlaws and grandchildren, it seems very unlikely that people get much "face-time" with their family. The enjoyment of family, far from being the focus, ends up being reduced to infrequent inter-galactic family reunions.
