The Plan. Hmmmm.
http://harpers.org/archive/2011/10/pennies-from-heaven/4/
" One of them said, “You know, Clay, I’ve been thinking of becoming religious.”

And I said, “Well, that’s neat.”

And he said, “But the MPB [an economist’s acronym for marginal personal benefit] is awful.”

And I said, “What do you mean?”

He said, “Well, imagine that I become religious, and that I do everything that God says He wants me to do. And then I get to Heaven. What do you do in Heaven? Do you sit around all day on a cloud? If that’s what eternity is like, man, that’s an awful MPB. I have to give up everything in life that’s fun—and that’s the reward?”

But the great thing about the Mormon Church is that when somebody asks what you do in Heaven, we have an answer. Now, everybody else might not buy into it. But at least we’ve got a plan. And the rest of them don’t have a plan."

Is this what he is talking about?

So what is in this plan that is so cool? Sex with infinite wives? I don't know that we teach this.

These people have sort of differing ideas about what happens upon death.

One gets to meet Jesus and another goes to a really nice waiting room to hang out with family.

So, what is the point of this plan? Why would God care if you knew about the 3 kingdoms of glory? Because it is so cool to give us "further mysteries"?

I could just imagine the disapproving and judgmental look on the face of my earthly wife while I game plan what she and the rest of my wives are going to do in our heavenly bed each night. Not to mention the shock and disbelief she would experience when I start getting into the details. Most of my time in heaven would be spent planning and preparing for the next sexual romp.

I read the comments underneath, about how the "Osmond" name was the only thing that held this lp back from being compared to Zepplin, or Pink Floyd.....Absolute rubbish!

As for a "plan" The best case scenerio has you hanging out with Mormons for eternity(I can do this just spending an hour with the TBM Fam). How can Hell be any worse than that?

...really know how to sing about it. The problem is they are thinking they are singing about Heaven.
