The LDS has different lyrics for the Christmas carol “Joy to the World.” Note the last stanza in particular:

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and Saints and angels sing

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
Let Saints their songs employ
While fields and floods
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy

Joy to the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love

No more will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He’ll come and make the blessings flow
Far as the curse was found,
Far as the curse was found,
Far as, far as the curse was found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And gives to nations proof
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love;
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,
While Israel spreads abroad
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God,
And ever worship God,
And ever, and ever worship God.

To: TheDingoAteMyBaby; All
And ever worship God,
And ever worship God,
And ever, and ever worship God.

Why don't Mormons ask themselves, "which god?" And "why this god & not others?"

And if Jesus is a separate god, why does both the Bible & the Book of Mormon say to worship Him? (Doesn't that = worshiping more than one god?)

And, actually the Holy Ghost is supposed to be worshiped per Mormon 7:7 in the Book of Mormon. Doesn't that = worshiping 3 gods per Mormonism's breakout?

And if the head god appointed a former man, Elohim, to be "God" of this planet + Kolob...why don't Mormons want to worship the supreme god who appointed Elohim? Or the "council of gods" that the upper totem pole god heads up? What? Aren't they also "worthy" of a Mormon's worship?

Contradictions abound in Mormonism. Hence, Mormons have to switch the "off" button to their minds and the "on" button to subjective burning-bosom feelings. Otherwise, it brings on daily dizziness.
