[ When Beck says “god” which god is he referring to? lds believe in multiple gods. lds believe they to can become a god. So which god is Beck referring to? ]

from what I understand is that once you die and go to heaven youare given your own world to act as god over, yet there is still THE GOD who created the universe and is still GOD over you. But my information may be flawed.

In part you may be correct but the god was a man who progressed to become god (somehow). He has a wife and they produced spirit children. One has to ask who created him/her to start with?
The lds god is not The Eternal God the Alpha and Omega.

If you’re really interested, ask an honest Mormon to explaint he fundamentals of their belief in eternal progression. You see, matter is eternal, but the Father of Jesus and Lucifer was once a man like us and progressed through exaltation to become God. An honest Mormon will admit they believe matter pre-existed God the Father. So, that isn’t a Christian perspective.

Mormons redefine most Christian/Biblical words. "Create" is one of those they redefine. When a Mormon says God "created" they don't mean out of nothing (Hebrews 11:3, Latin ex nihilo). They just mean "reorganize."

Comparably, if the Mormon god was to build your house out of wood...he wouldn't make the wood out of nothing. He would merely "reorganize" it from matter already eternal.
