–noun the doctrine of or belief in more than one god or in many gods.

Hum, I have seen posts that Jesus is their God, and that the Heavenly Father is their God and great pains made to make sure we know the two are separate, as to not be too trinitarian.

Well there is two right there...

Lest we forget all those whom have become gods themselves in the next dispensation by following the doctrine to the letter as well. I have had the discussion a few times.

Best questions to ask, the yes or no ones I never get an answer too that cause the immediate breakdown of all higher discussions.

Is there more than one God?

Is Jesus God?

Are they separate?

(Among others of course...)

“I wish to declare I have always an in all congregations when I have preached on the subject of Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods.”
- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., History of the Church, v. 6, p. 306

“In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it.”
- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., History of the Church, v. 6, pp. 307, 308

“If we should take a million of worlds like this and number their particles, we should find that there are more Gods than there are particles of matter in those worlds.
” - Apostle Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, v. 2, p. 345, February 18, 1855

1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.

Gosh!  I don't know.  
 
 
 
The LDS Organization say that THESE two PERSONAGES are the Father and the Son;
BOTH with physical bodies.
 
 
Is that considered ONE 'god' or TWO gods?
 
Is the LDS 'godhead' made up of TWO physical gods and one spiritual one (AKA Holy Ghost)?
 
Is this a TRIOKA OF GODS?
 
So fuzzy a concept: so hard to pin down for an answer.
