" I would think foolishness is something like believing you will get your own planet when you die. Where does it say that in the Bible? Oh wait, it doesn't say that in the Bible."
Where does it say that in the Book of Mormon? Or the Doctrine and Covenants? Or Pearl of Great Price?
this is a link to the online version of our scriptures, including the KJV Bible, and it is searchable. I found 291 references to planets, but didn't find anything suggesting we get our own planet when we die. I admit I didn't read every article, either. Maybe you'd like to do so?

Perhaps you heard someone else say we believe that; if so, maybe you should check our our beliefs for yourself. Would you accept the word of a disaffected Baptist, Lutheran, or Catholic, for what those churches believe? Or someone who talked to someone about those churches but never actually investigated them him or herself? I wouldn't. You shouldn't either.
Point of fact: I was a disaffected Baptist, once upon a time. My reasons for disaffection, and the person who caused them, are also the reason I am LDS. My stepfather, a Baptist minister, and the proximate cause of much of my disaffection, also told me not to believe what he said, or what anyone else said, but to read for myself, and think for myself, and to pray for guidance from God. I did, and here I am. I also recognize that my stepfather was a poor excuse for a minister, and not a proper reflection of Baptist beliefs.
God bless you, and enlighten you. Even if you don't convert to my church. We can do a lot more together than we can apart, and we can argue about the theology after the work is done.
I am talking about what the Bible says, not what Mormon writings say. And you also know better than to think that all Mormon doctrine is in Mormon scriptures.
Is it not true that the ultimate goal of a Mormon is to become a god?
Is it not true that who you term as God was once a human according to Mormon doctrine?
Is it not true that Mormons believe Native Americans are a lost tribe of Isreal? Is it not true that Mormons consider Jesus and Satan as brothers?
Is it not true that Mormons reject the Holy Trinity?
Is it not true that Mormons believe that there was a civilization that rivaled that of Europe in North America?
Is it not true that up until 1978, black men were not allowed into the order of Melchizedek?
These are just a very few problems that I have with Mormonism, especially from my disaffected Lutheran convert friend.
The fact of the matter is that I HAVE looked into your beliefs for myself and I also happen to know that many Mormons, especially converts are not told of all the aspects of Mormonism until they get deeper and deeper into the religion.
