I enjoyed this quote Mormon philosopher William H. Chamberlin. I may have shared this earlier, but here it is again, just in case:
The gospel is so beautiful, our story is so beautiful, that even if it wasn’t true there is no reason that we can’t make it true. God needs willing earthly hands to build Zion, it can’t be built by celestial beings alone.

I certainly understand the sentiments of the quote, but this is why Evanglical Christians gnash their teeth at Mormonism.

Can't wait to see the look on their face, when we achieve immortality.

They'll call it a Satanic deception -- for the fundamentalists, ironically, real eternal life is possible only in death.

I'd like to see their faces when they achieve immortality. I kinda think it'll take everybody, including us, by surprise... although it might be so gradual a process that many (including some or all of us) might not notice until the deed is done.

I think everyone will eventually jump to the camp that believes it will not only be possible, but inevitable.
Increasingly more amazing, formerly thought impossible things will become possible, approaching this inevitability, it will be interesting to see who hangs out, for how long, and what finally converts each individual to this realization.
