*Nature of God*
God once was a mortal who became an eternal being after a great trial.

*Jesus Christ*
Jesus Christ was God's first born spirit child, his only earthly child and
the only perfect mortal.

*No Trinity*
Mormons reject the idea of the Christian Trinity - God, Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit as one ethereal being. Instead they believe the three are
separate beings joined in a common purpose.

*Pre-existence and the afterlife*
Before their mortal birth, humans existed in pre-mortality and were born in
the sprit world to heavenly parents. Mormons also believe in the
resurrection and teach that most people will receive some measure of
salvation and have a place in a three level eternal kingdom.

*One true church*
Mormons say their faith is not Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox but holds a
unique place as "restored New Testament Christianity" Founder Joseph Smith
said God told him none of the existing churches were practicing Christianity
as it was intended.

With Mormons I never got past the concept of having to wear special
underwear as part of the tribal regalia.

The explanation seems similar to wearing burkas and stuff like that.
