    Mormons also believe that what most Christians concieve of as God, is actually more of just the local demigod of this Solar System, not the entire universe, who comes from a line of other demigods before him, not being the uh, uncreated creator that existed prior to the universe itself, and has domain over all of it.

    Reminds me of Dragon Ball Z.

    Further, should you be a good and proper enough Mormon, you get to go to the super duper highest level of the top 1/3rd of Mormon afterlife outcomes, whereby you too can become a local demigod of your own solar system!

    … If you are a man.

    You have to be a married man to pull this off, get the secret Temple names with the underwear and all that, donate a LOT to the Church… but wifey… nah she does not get a shot at becoming a demigod, she’s just a demigod’s wife.

    Basically no other Christians believe that any man can become godlike.

    Mormons also don’t believe in the Trinity.

    Their idea of Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit is more or less that they are all seperate and distinct entities, not triune paradox of simultaneous distinction and indistinction.

    Beyond the more … historical fan fiction type additions to the existing lore, fucking with those three core tenets is sufficient for most American Christians to deem Mormons as sacreligious heretics.

    To try and wrap this around:

    Just because all Dragon Ball Z fans believe Goku ‘killed’ Frieza on Namek…

    Does not mean they all consider Dragonball GT to be canon.
