So what are the Goal of the Mormon teaching?

(1) A form of universalism (for all except Mormons who leave the faith):
"...we will all receive the gift of immortality and live forever in glorified resurrected bodies." (True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference, published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, p. 18) ... and then on p. 81:

"...Hell...is another name for spirit prision. This is a temporary state..."

IOW, no never-been-Mormons suffer eternal hell.

"What fundamental ideas that teaching preaches?

Non-Mormons can live anyway they want--ignore God as much as they want. Won't eternally matter. 'Cause the above doctrine coupled with the Mormon baptist for the dead doctrine means you'll get another chance in spirit prison to get a free get out of hell card!

(2) On p. 57 of that same book the Mormon leaders teach that had Adam & Even not sinner, they would have neither become parents nor eventual gods. [The obvious conclusion is that sin & obedience to Satan, giving us parenthood and godhood, was "good"...this even leads to the Mormon conclusion that sex/regeneration is sin-based]

(3) As for godhood, this leads to great pride among Mormons...not only for being the "elite" of the universe...but taking pride in actions that supposedly lead to godhood.
