You believe you get your own planet in the afterlife? Pssh...we've got a Christian on here that hopes to get his own galaxy. If you're going to dream, dream big.
What can I do to prevent Mormons from knocking on my door(you know, besides putting my neighbor's head on stake in my front lawn)?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Don't get me wrong, I commend you in thinking for yourself on the matter of alcohol and coffee, but you don't feel guilt in your Temple Interviews when they ask if you are keeping the Word of Wisdom? Do you lie to your Stake President?
I simply tell him that I am keeping the Word of Wisdom, for I believe that I am. I don't consider it a lie, and I still feel right with God when I enjoy a beer with a few friends.
BTW, Temple Recommends are given by the Ward Bishop, not the Stake President. You've been gone some time now, haven't you? I bet Hinckley was still President when you left.
I guess I can't rag on you too much for alcohol consumption. My friend's wife is a practicing Mormon but she goes drinking with us all the time.
Yeah, I left during Hinckley's reign. Good guess. I got remarried recently and took my new wife to Temple Square in SLC when I was visiting my daughter. We went to the Visitor's Center and found a small playback clip of Thomas S. Monson at a General Conference talking about women's roles in the family. He greatly offended her sensibilities as a woman...and I was offended too. Do you share President Monson's sentiments about the woman's role in the family, or are you not as backwards-thinking as that?

What a coincidence - I've spent a lot of the last three years drinking and it turns me into a practising moron.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Fuck. Now I do worry. I don't want to go to heaven, I couldn't stand the company! 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Actually, saying that 'even' atheists get to go to heaven is missing the point by quite a hefty margin. It's sort of like me saying "yes, I know you don't believe in magic unicorns, but don't worry because one day you'll have one of your very own! Her name is Mildred."
Also, granting atheists the curse of the grand prize is an admission that belief in your god, whatever you want to call it, is not necessary. In fact, on that basis it's probably better to live your life on your own feet rather than your knees - sort of a reverse Pascal's Wager (Lacsap's Wager, anyone? No? Sod you then  )
