For the same reason we should trust you on this. The LDS church will hold to analysis but it all depends on who you ask I do beleive that if I were to ask a catholic off the street the fundaments of their religion they would be less knowledgable than those at the head of the church.

This concept is nothing more than a kinder, gentler purgatory.

I am glad you know the scripture but aren't we debating the validity of the mormon religion how can we do this without discussing some scriptures from our very book.
And purgatory is not kind nor gentle but if this is what you believe sobeit. We believe that outer darkness will be full of "Weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth" and thus is the decree from god for those who openly rebel against him.
