Mormon Church: Followers don't get their own planet

The Mormon Church is hitting back against the idea that followers are taught they will get their own planet in the afterlife – a misconception popularised most recently by the musical The Book of Mormon.

A newly-posted article affirms the faith’s belief that humans can become like God in eternity, but says the “cartoonish image of people receiving their own planets” is not how members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints see it.
