Mormons believe they can become Gods?

Answer 1

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the purpose of this life is to become more like God. They strive to adopt the character traits of God, such as humility, charity, love, compassion, forgiveness, and integrity. They believe that by obeying God's will and keeping God's commandments, they will be exalted to live with God and have to opportunity to become like Him. A popular Mormon couplet on this topic is "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." (written by Mormon Prophet Lorenzo Snow - the full poem is found under the "Discussion" tab)

By believing this, Mormons do not mean to make God the Father any less important, nor do they mean to take glory upon themselves. They worship God the Father and Jesus Christ and hold them up as perfect examples, they do not try to usurp the power and authority of God or put themselves in His place.
