The problem with absolute statements is that a lot of the time, they're wrong.

There is no doctrine, or teaching, that there is a Heavenly Mother in the LDS church.  Many believe so, simply because it makes logical sense, but that is not a teaching held by the church.  And there are literally thousands of opinions on the logistics behind "spiritual children".  

Making absolute statements about viewpoints which one does not personally hold is dangerous ground to tread.  It would be no different than saying all Atheists are amoral.  No different than saying all Agnostics are really Atheists who don't want to offend their mothers.  No different than saying all Pagans worship Satan.  And, saying it like "Of course they believe in this thing I'm talking about right now.  They just don't come out and say it." is right up there with "Of course all homosexuals are child molesters.  Some just hide it better."  The fact that the statement isn't true on the whole isn't the point.  It's the fact that some people will see it as fact and never question it, because they respect the viewpoint of the one presenting it.  THAT is why you definitely want to tread lightly when posting about a POV that is not your own.  It may be your opinion that these things happen, but that doesn't make them true for all.
