To take it to the extreme, if when i die i find myself in paradise and that the LDS religion was the right way to go - I'd deny God to his face. He's not the sort of person i like to hang around with.
Why do you think it's a step backwards? Most LDS members would tell you this is a more tolerant view than in the past.
