That link would be great.
First, it is my experience that every pantheon has a head deity. Secondly, as to where the first God came from, Christians believe that God always was. Then there is the caveat that God the Holy Spirit isn’t quite a God because of a lack of body. This would mean that God the Father wouldn’t be a God either for the same reason.
By-the-way, thank you for the mature and civil discussion. And understanding where I’m coming from.
Neither one of us is voting for Romney, but at least I’m learning something, so it isn’t a waste of time.
This would mean that God the Father wouldn’t be a God either for the same reason.

Mormons teach that God the Father has a body of flesh and bone. Gaining a body and living a good Mormon life (just like God the Father did) is required in order to become a God.
Here is the page with the terminology differences. The website as a whole is full of well researched and accurate info. When I was LDS, I spent most of a year trying to prove that these people, specifically, were lying, taking things out of context or misusing sources. I could not find a single instance, which is more than I could say for Mormon scholars and apologists. Also, if you would like more info, feel free to give them a call. Sandra always has time to help people and answer questions.
