Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) have a different view of the nature of God than most other Christian groups, but still worship the same God.
Mormons are non-Trinitarian, meaning that they believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three individual beings, perfectly united in purpose and power but not in substance. Mormons worship the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. Worship hymns are sung addressed to the Father, Jesus, or both (occasionally the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost will also be addressed, such as in the line "Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" as found in the traditional hymn Praise God, from Whom all Blessings Flow). Prayers are addressed to the Father in the name of Jesus.

Why do Mormons worship god?
Mormons worship god because we strongly believe in God and want to repay him with all that we can
Which religion does God represent?
Christians, Catholics, and Mormons all worship God in his namesake. However, Muslims and Jews also worship God, they just have different names for him.
Why is Mitt Romney lying to voters when he says in speeches he will not take God out of his heart when all Mormons pride themselves in saying they do not worship the same god as other Christians?
That's not true. All Mormons do not pride themselves on this fact, so since the premise of your question is flawed, there is no way to answer it. Mormons worship the God of the Bible, the same God as everyone else, believing only different things about Him.
What is the major emphasis of Mormons worship?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) worship God our Heavenly Father. Mormons also worship Jesus Christ, the son of God to whom they look for salvation. Mormons pray to the father in the name of the son. Mormons believe that the father has given all power and authority to his son Jesus. The plan of salvation is administered through Jesus Christ. Jesus created this earth. It is he who answers our prayers. He set an example and taught us how to come unto the father. Jesus suffered and died in order to pay our debt of sin. He will be our judge. Mormons worship the father by striving to live a Christ like life. As we turn our lives to Christ, we are saved by his atoning sacrifice for sin. If we are in rebellion to God, we have no such promise.
Why do mormons worship?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) worship for the same reasons as any other person of faith would worship. Worship is a way to praise God to thank Him for all that He has bestowed upon mankind. Many Mormons also feel that worship allows them to connect with God on a personal level and develop a relationship with Him. Worship also allows us to fellowship with other believers and to share and receive the gospel message.

Why would God want us to worship him and since the Mormon purpose of life is to become more like God should Mormons get people to worship them also?
Many Christians see prayers as just a means of communication. Anytime you talk to God, you pray. Talking is worship. As far as the Mormons, that is to be more like God in their deeds-since they are mortal, worship not required to talk to them. Hope that answered your question. No, because our goal as followers of God is to become LIKE him, meaning kind, forgiving, loving, selfless, etc. We are not God, so we should not be worshiped, we are simply trying to follow His example and teachings and adapt His personality traits, not His divinity. Worshiping anything but God is sacrelige.
Are Mormons atheistic since they worship their church and Joseph Smith and a man they call God but that man is just like them with flesh and bones but lives in Heaven on Kolab?
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) worship God alone. To worship Joseph Smith would be blasphemy and just as inappropriate and absurd as worshiping Moses or Isaiah or any other prophet. They do not worship their church either. Mormons do believe that God was once a man, but that He is now glorified, exalted and deified and is God, not a man.Mormons also do not believe that God lives on Kolob, two verses of Mormon scripture say that the throne of God is near toKolob. It never says He lives on Kolob.In addition, atheism is the belief that there is no god - so even if one does not worship or believe in the same god that you do, this does not mean they are atheists.

What did the latter day saints worship?

Do Mormons discriminate against non-Mormons?
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are taught to treat everyone with love and respect, because they believe that all people are children of God. They hold no animosity toward those of other faiths, and welcome them to participate in worship services. The only time that there may be some discrimination toward non-Mormons is in Temple worship (different than regular Sunday worship). Non-Mormons and Mormons who have not received permission from their local leaders, cannot enter the temple after it has been dedicated. Because Mormons want to share the temple with their friends of other faiths, they open the temple to the public for tours before dedication and after any major renovations.
What is the relationship from god to Mormons?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is the Father of our spirits and the creator of our bodies, therefore He is our Heavenly Father. They believe that God, our Heavenly Father, is concerned about us just as a father is concerned for his own children. Mormons are encouraged to have a personal relationship with God and to cultivate and nurture that relationship through prayer, worship, and scripture study. They believe that individuals may receive direct revelation from God. You can learn more about what Mormons believe at the "Related Links" below.
