I was listening to a general conference session of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints where the building of several smaller temples was announced, and I remember that and at the time I was so happy and excited about all of the possibilities and the accessiblity that I never considered any possible downside, but it explains a lot.
The early saints were leary of building a temple because the persection seemed a result of the first. They said that the second a temple was announced or the cornerstone was laid all hell breaks loose. Just imagine how furious the adversary would be that those pesky Mormons announce several temples, that will dot the globe! Well, just look around. You're welcome.
Interestly, I just watched an episode of warehouse 13 where an artifact made you invincible but killed anyone else present in place, sort of like the guy on Pushing Daisies, if he saved one person then another died, and anyway in this show a guy asks, "Do you think you can play God?" Meaning, sure if you use this artifact to save one life, everyone else will die. Are you sure you want to be responsible for all of that? Isn't that what parents do? They take responsibility for things, and that is why they get to make the choices. And, God is more than just a creator. He is our literal Father in Heaven.
