Because I would be interested in knowing how you manage to reconcile the 
teachings of Joseph Smith with the teachings of the bible, which, when it 
comes to the basic characteristics of the Christian God, are completely in 
opposition.
Actually, to be truthful, I really highlighted this point because I am aware 
it is a source of embarrassment for Mormons like yourself who are generally 
instructed not to tell people about this kind of stuff while they are out on 
missionary duties.
As a 60 yr old Mormon, I would expect you to know about the King Follet 
Discourse, or am I wrong?
So, how about it?
So, anyway, has God always been God, or was God once a man who progressed to 
a God, as Smith claims in the King Follet Discourse, and is it possible for 
Mormon men like yourself to become a God?
Once again, I expect you to run away from this question, as you have already 
shown.
