Mormons belive that Jesus is the God of Earth but there are other Gods of other worlds. They belive that if they (the men) live right (by their beliefs) that they (the men) "can" become a God of their own world. That they get to populate it and this is why they belive in poligimy. They need the multiple wives for all those extra babies.
They belive that Satan is Jesus brother and that (in the old theology which in modern days they have recanted) blacks are individuals who were punished. Thus the skin collor. They didn't allow membership for Blacks untill about 1970.
I once was introduced to an individual who followed Mormonism and also belived they were a vampire. I came to the conclusion that they wanted to live forever and if they had to die they wanted to then be a God.

Mormons are Christian who believe in the Living Prophet (meaning prophets still active today) among other things. The official Mormon church no longer believes in plural marriage.
If you're really curious about Mormons, why don't you contact the nearest LDS temple? (That's Latter Day Saints) I'm sure they'll be glad to tell you about their religion. They're converters.

Well...not sure that you could say the Mormons adhere to the Arian beliefs, but the Jehovah's Witnesses definitely do!

Mormons believe Adam was god. That he was a good mormon on another planet and got to populate this planet with eve his celetial wife. If a mormon is a good mormon here they believe they will eventually get their own planets to populate and be gods themselves. They believe Jesus was the brother of satan as well.
It is sad that so many have been deceived by the lies of Joseph Smith and the lds church. Jesus is the only begotten son of God and is the only way to heaven.

Mormons are Christains. They just have two holy books. The Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon are the teachings of the American prophet Joseph Smith who had a revelation about the Holy Spirit coming to talk to the Native Americans.

Mormons believe in God, they are Christian.
BTW....Allah is the Muslim term for God. Same God as the Christians.

Mormons are Christians in that they believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior and they follow Him. Now...to the differences. Mormons believe that there is a Heavenly Father that they worship and from whom they are children. They believe that we were all spirit children in a pre-existence and in order to progress to be "like God", they need to go through the passage of physical existence. Yes, this means they believe that God, the Father, already has a physical body. Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, Jesus was chosen to be our Savior. He is the perfect, first-born son who desired to do His Father's will and give us mortals free agency to choose right or wrong. If we choose rightly, then we are able to return back to Heavenly Father and live in His presence to continue becoming more like Him. The Holy Ghost is the constant companion of those who follow God's commandments and the One who inspires us to do right even if we are unaware of "right" being a commandment. It was never clearly explained to me if the Holy Ghost ever gains a body and moves on in progression at the end of times...so I'm not sure of that one. That's it in a very paraphrased nutshell. They believe in a trinity, but that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are very separate entities.

Mormons believe that God is the Eternal Father of all souls, including that of Jesus, and that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are seperate beings working for one purpose.

Mormons are Christians. They believe in god. I've never heard a Mormon say "Oh my god".
