The atonement does not clean up the unrepentant soul, nor does it allow a wicked man to dwell with God in His mansion.
If this were to happen, God's house would be filthy too.
You are drinking too much of their Kool Aid dear one... obviously you have precious little grasp of what the atonement does if you arrive at this bad reasoned end of an analysis.
Mormon doctrine is quite clear that the atonement does in fact clean the unrepentant up after they agree to certain conditions and bow the knee to Jesus -- they are then admitted into the Telestial Kingdom in a saved condition. The telestial KINGdom is ruled by one King, even Jesus Christ. Although the Doctrine and Covenants does not specifically mention that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ visit that Kingdom on any particular basis but it is clear that the Holy Ghost does. So, the atonement does clean up the unrepentant soul wherein that wicked man (or woman!) may be visited by God within that mansion where he can dwell as long as he like.
And in that same vein let's remind Elizabeth that Mormons have been and still are considered heathens by other Christian religions and denominations. To this day, Christian churches outside of Mormonism do not accept Mormon baptisms as valid. Even a Mormon who decides to switch and join another Christian church must be rebaptized into the that religion because the Mormon baptism is considered invalid.
So, Mormons are classed as heathens by the Christian world which refuses to accept Mormon baptism as valid. Likewise, the world, and moreover Egyptology, refuses to accept the Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 as valid but are vain interpretations of a heathen nature given by a false prophet pretending to translate. Nobody can refute that! Nobody!
I KNOW the church is not true. I bear solemn testimony to that fact.

Speaking for myself, I know that one can be truly happy and at peace by giving up the faith and belief in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ. When I look back at my days of testimony in the Church it was like being enslaved and imprisoned. The idea of drinking blood and relying on an angry Heavenly Father who required one of his sons to be tortured and brutally murdered in order for him to get over it all -- proved to me that sending one's own son to a horrible death in order to get the other children off the hook is NOT a doctrine of love. That is not what any loving father does. A loving father forgives for forgiveness sake and doesn't require beating another child to appease his anger! That is what a cruel father would do. It's a doctrine of FEAR! It's a doctrine of scaring people into submitting to cult teachings and blood lusts. That was ancient theology -- an abomination. Mankind is rising above that. The Dark Ages will soon be behind us as more and more people give up Jesus blood.

LDS thoughts and DOCTRINE includes blood atonement and I have every right to express my opposition to it in this thread so long as I do it within the bound of attempting to show general respect. It's not always easy to do when one directly opposes something that is considered sacred so you perhaps may be a little forgiving.

But, I will continue to bear testimony against the doctrine of Christ and tell why it doesn't work for me.

It could be said that you are under the influence of Satan. Many Christians of different stripes believe Mormons are possessed with evil spirits. But that is not what I'm saying. Many Christians believe that Mormonism and Mormon doctrines are the doctrines of Satan and that they have perverted the Christian religion.
So, before you throw Mormon critics into the Satan pit, please be advised that there are a great many people that believe YOU are in the Satan pit.
Isaiah 55:8,9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
So, tell us, since your thoughts are so much higher -- HOW do you manage to come up with the idea that the black man in Facsimile No. 3 is a slave? Why did you chop off his nose?
If your ways are so much higher and better, please explain yourself.

How many wives can Joseph Smith have and still be considered a virtuous man? And, how young can those girls be? 14? 13? 12?
