Good grief! Me, equal with God Almighty?!! That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

That’s part of the joke Saundra, you don’t get to be a God, just male Temple Mormon priests like Mitt. Then they get their planets and have multiple spirit wives, that’s what celestial marriage is all about.
Of course, they probably don’t bring this stuff up every Sunday, because why irritate the simple flock. But the big boys know.
If I've got this straight, mormons do not believe that reaching the highest level of exaltation in celestial heaven is the same as being god's equal. A mormon guy believes that where God is today, he will be tomorrow -- but he won't be God's equal, because by that time, God will have "evolved" beyond that stage of his development. Kapeeeesh?
And all you mormons out there, I'm relying on you to correct this information if it's wrong.
John 17: 11, 21 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Now if you believe this oneness refers to a trinity, then the scripture has even deeper meaning for you, because we are to become one in God. According to the doctrine of the Trinity the righteous will be God.
