Mormonism's "heavenly parents" are getting more earthly mentions from top LDS leaders, especially since the Utah-based faith published an essay last year affirming its belief in a divine mother.
LDS researcher Christian Anderson has been tracking the number of times twice-yearly General Conference speakers refer to heavenly parents.
Among his findings: Conference sermons this year used the term a record 15 times. That's 67 percent higher than the previous mark of nine set in 2013 and 2015.
"Clearly something new is going on," Anderson writes in a blog at the Zelophehad's Daughters website.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

Yes, and you can also assume Mormonism is 100% polytheistic along the lines of the Greek or Roman pantheon.

Did not someone recently figure 300 billion little spirit kids hanging around the heavenly mansion? This theology stretches the limits of my imagination and is not believable imho.
