I was talking to a Mormon the other day about his interpretation of the four levels of heaven. On the highest level, a true LDS becomes a god of their very own universe, which is a perk of the nery highest order. It differs very little from the 96 virgins promised to true believers in the Muslim religion, or the "sharing god's very own DNA" idealogy of Jews.
