Some of the claims of these sites are sensationalized, but they get the basic beliefs right.

Having been both a Mormon and then a Christian, I can tell you that there are vast differences. The most glaring are:

1) The personification of God and the belief that men may progress to become gods.

2) Exaltation is earned through performing specific ordinances and entering into covenants.

3) There is a “Prophet” on earth who is a spokesman for God in all things both spiritual and temporal. (Which makes the Prophet completely different than the Pope)

The stuff about “satan is a spirit brother of Jesus” is also a problem...
