   If you were a Mormon, and if you are a man, and if you had at least seven   
   wives, and if you followed all the rules, then you would make it to the   
   Celestial Heaven.  And if you progressed while in heaven you would   
   eventually become a god and could create your own universe and make your own   
   rules.   
      
   But then there are an awful lot of "IFs" in that scenario.  The biggest if   
   of all is "if they got the whole thing right to begin with".
