Ok, I have to admit that I like your online personality so far. The theists who join this site and are then insulted because we mock what they believe are really annoying - what did you expect. You seem to be able to handle it.
I spend a bit of time reading about mormons, and I have to admit that my primary reaction was: Believes a lot of crazy stuff...
The prophet one is the scariest. You are giving one man too much power. Are there any safeguards to ensure that the prophet does not go crazy and turns everyone into a psycho suicide cult or something? You don't sound like the type of sheep that will follow something like that, but what about the other sheep?
How much money did this Joseph Smith guy make out of this particilar scam *cough. Sorry, I meant "out of being the prophet off course*
Women are encouraged to marry. I have no real problem with this (ok, I do. but that is more a personal thing) unless the encouragement is more forceful or people look down on those that are not married. How old are they when they are "encouraged" to marry? How are they encouraged to marry? What if they refuse?
Cool! You will be omnipotent! Instead of making babies, why don't you work on some of the worlds problems instead? Start with starving people/children and work your way upwards.
I'll also send you my personal list once I have compiled it. It won't be anything big (focus on the starving people, ok?) but will probably include winning the lottery

Omnipotence and Omniscience sound like daunting prospects, but I'm sure my new resurrected body can handle it. I'm sure the learning process will take a few hundred, if not a few thousand years...we learn so little in our short existence as flesh and blood, so picking up the rest will be a ginormous task.
After my learning is at a satisfactory level, I suppose the baby-making will begin. It's not accomplished in the way you would think... [cropped]
