I have just read all of the previous responses.  You all sound like very
intelligent people, so why don't you find out the facts before you comment.

The Mormon doctrine is VERY different from Christian doctrine.  I think
it is worth everyone's time and effort to learn more about their doctrine.

Here are some items you might research.

1.  Blood atonement.  (I am not talking about the blood of Jesus.)       
2.  Jesus and Satan are spiritual brothers.
3.  God is an immortal physical man of flesh and bone.  He is also eternally
    married.
4.  They only way a woman can get into the Celestial Kingdom is if her
    earthly husband calls her name from beyond the grave.  The name he uses
    is given to her in the Temple marriage.  If he does not call her secret
    name, she is out of luck.
5.  Their spiritual origin (before their physical birth on earth).
6.  The head of the church is their Prophet, Revelator and Seer and anything
    he says supercedes anything previously written or spoken (including the
    Bible.)
7.  The secret oaths, temple ceremonies, etc.
8.  The marriage and baptism of the dead.
9.  The temptation by Satan in the Garden of Eden to Eve was a blessing in
    disguise.
10. The Mormon "Zion" is in Jackson County, MO. where Joseph Smith declared
    the Garden of Eden was located.  The second coming of Christ will be in
    Independence, MO. despite the fact that the Bible says He will come back
    to the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem....that Zion IS Jerusalem.
11. Joseph Smith taught that there were people living on the moon.  People
    6 feet tall, dressed like Quakers and lived a thousand years.  Brigham
    Young went as far as to say that there were people living on the sun.

I have been doing a lot of reading lately on Mormon doctrine, both pro and
con.  Find out for yourselves.  Then make your comments.  For those
of you who are Mormon reading this, I am not trying to hurt anybody's    
feelings.  Read the Bible and find out for yourselves.
