There is an inherent dualism built into Mormonism, therefore, that will not allow for the final destruction of evil, which is something that the Mormon doesn't want to happen anyway, since that gives him the opportunity to be his own god on his own planet somewhere. Hence, the necessity of evil and sin in Mormonism rear their ugly heads once again. Sin and evil were a necessity for the human race to advance—humans had to disobey God in order to obey God, if that makes any sense—while contemporary Mormons put on a somber face when it comes to sin today, while later advocating their necessity in order to become gods. What a convoluted world the Mormon lives in, and yet wishes to criticize Christians, the Bible, and God himself, because they're not willing to comply with or support that worldview.
