The LDS church beliefs are found in the “Book of Mormon,” “The Pearl of Great Price,” and “Doctrine and Covenants.”

Not Christianity. But feel free to consider them your scriptures.

Joseph Smith was the founder of the LDS church

Jesus Christ founded the Christian Church. But you are perfectly free to follow this man.

LDS church believes that gods, angels and humans are all different forms of the same beings

That's very interesting. But it's not a Christain belief.

spirit children produced by the union of the heavenly father and mother

This is so far from Christianity as to be astounding. But it's still a free country and you have a right to beleive it with all your heart.

The humans who have followed the “gospel” of the LDS church will go to the celestial kingdom and themselves become gods and goddesses.

This is much more like Greek or Roman mythology. Ya'll should write a book about it. But certainly nothing like Christianity.

LDS church recognizes many gods

Many religions believe in many gods. None of them happen to be Christian. Christian-hill-to-die-on numero uno: There is ONE GOD. Ever. We get pretty touchy about this. We won't bother you over it, just don't call it Christian.

the LDS church believes that the gods have flesh and bone.

But Christains don't. Knock yourself out and find yourself in good company with other primative religions, but not Christainity.

Jesus is the brother of Satan

Christians of course know that Jesus IS God. You don't have to believe it. We're sorry you don't. It's sad. Either do Muslims and we don't get into these threads with them because THEY DON"T TRY TO PASS THEMSELVES OFF AS CHRISTIAN.

Do you get it? Go be a Mormon. Be a wonderful Mormon. Good luck with that. ya'll make great neighbors and coworkers. Just call yourselves Mormons please. Leave Christianity out of it.

Great post, T.

A "keeper" to repost (please).

I think an excellent analogy or word picture to the point you repeatedly came back to, T would be:

I think foreign countries are "free" to develop whatever currency they want. (Just don't call it the "U.S. dollar" and print up as much of it as you want, distortion & all).
