I always think that it is strange that LDSers think that they are going to get to be God because Lucifer wanted to be God and we all know what happened to him.

Why over throw our creator....our creator wants us to be all he is and more.....do you not want your children to be the best they can be.....why would you want a parent or god that didn't want you to have everything? life is education...education goes of for ever....how is it you can believe in a god that could burn his off spring for ever....thats a small sad god.

Tell me, when you become a parent, do you overthrow your own mom and dad? And then you become your own mom or dad? That's kind of silly, isn't it?
NO one overthrows God, our Heavenly Father. We do NOT become GOD. God is our Heavenly Father, and always was, is and will be, our Heavenly Father, and our God. Even if we become gods, He will always be OUR GOD.

Because 'god' is moving on to take an even higher position. So, even thought you get 'godship', you're still under the tutelage of "god", who, incidentally, is under the tutelage of 'his' god and so on.
What is it not to love about this? At least you're not stuck in the same old rut for eternity...

They don't believe they are going to overthrow god. They believe that by following what god commands of them, they will one day be allowed the privilage to be like him.

You seem to have a misunderstanding of what our beliefs are. I shall do my best to clarify them for you.
The ancient Jews didn't like this concept either When Christ called himself God's Son they sought to kill him. The concept of Christ's divinity among Christians is unchallenged. Christ being God's Son or as John records God is His Father. In both the book of John and the 1st epistle of John we are told that we can become sons of God. Christ did not over-through his Father He worked with Him they were one in spirit and purpose, and so to can we become when we become the sons or daughters of God, and like Christ we will be able to inherit all that Gos has. Lucifer wanted all the credit himself.
Christ, before any of us came to Earth volunteered to become our Savior and he presented a much different perspective He said "thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever." God is our eternal Father in Heaven and like any good Father, He wants his Children to succeed, to Grow and better themselves. The difference between the attitude of Christ and Satan is where most of the worlds problems come from. We like Christ must be willing to say "thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever" and then we will be able to spend the rest of the eternities working with our Father in Heaven helping in His continuing work, or in shorter words become gods.
Does that help clarify your confusion? If not, and you actually want to understand our beliefs and not just criticize them, please feel free to email me.

They arn't really going to overthrow God, but idol worship of themselves is pretty much rampid in the mormon faith.
