How would you like to become a god? According to Mormon theology, all humans are capable of becoming gods – it is part of our divine heritage as children of God, also known as Heavenly Father. In fact, they believe God was once human, like us. So what is Mormonism? Mormonism is a nickname for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or the LDS Church), which is a Christian denomination that believes in religious texts in addition to the New and Old Testaments, and in revelations from God in all ages. These supposed additional sources of religious knowledge lead to practices and beliefs not held by traditional Christian denominations, but there are large differences even between the theologies of non-Mormon denominations. In addition, there are Christians who believe that there were books that were kept out of the traditional bible, albeit by different means than the Book of Mormon is said to have been kept out of the bible. Above all, the LDS Church proclaims Jesus as the savior of humanity, which is the number one belief that makes a denomination Christian.

I'm gonna submit this and make some ramen now.

Heh... Well, that's just a little bit of what it's about, but I suppose if you're more interested in why the theology is different than the theology itself, what I wrote suffices.

MOrmonism isn't as strange as people think it is, but it's still very different from other Christian religions. I can't wait to read what else she writes. I think unbiased essays on things like religions are just terribly interesting.
