Mormons belive in the same God that other Christians believe in.
----------
Like traditional Christians, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in God the Father and Jesus Christ; but unlike most traditional Christians do not believe in the concept of the Trinity. Rather, they believe that the Father and Son are two separate personages united in purpose, not person. They refer to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as the "Godhead", rather than the Trinity.

God was being written about well before the establishment of most modern religions. It is probably safe to say that he does not need to belong to any specific group, especially since he instructs us to love all of them.
Another Answer:
Mormons pray to the same being that Jesus Christ taught when he was on earth. Jesus taught us that His father is our father. God is the father of their spirits. Christ is the mediator and savior.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is our loving Father in Heaven. He is the father and creator of our spirits and loves us unconditionally just as a father loves his children. God has a glorified, resurrected body - meaning that He is immortal and eternal but if you were to see Him He would appear to have the body of a man.
God's goal is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man, so that we may all live with Him eternally in heaven and become like Him. In order to make this possible, He provided us with a Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who suffered and died to take upon himself the sins of all mankind. If we accept this sacrifice, our sins are forgiven and we are worthy to return to our Father. Jesus Christ also has a glorified, resurrected body, and sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. Jesus Christ created the earth under the direction of God the Father.
The Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) does not have a body, but is spirit only. The Holy Spirit witnesses to us of God the Father and Jesus Christ and is the medium by which we as mortals may communicate with the divine.
Unlike most other Christians, Mormons do not believe in the Trinity - that is, they do not believe that God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the same being. Mormons believe that these three are seperate, individual beings, perfectly united in their purpose (the salvation of mankind).

God does speak to women. It's just not as widely heard of as the men. God speaks to whoever he wants to. ~*Answered by a Mormon*~
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that God resides in heaven. Where exactly 'heaven' is remains unknown. A rarely used book of Mormon scripture describes a planet called 'Kolob' which is said to be "nearest to the throne of God". It never says that God lives there, only that it is the closest planet to where God lives.
Yes and no. Warren Jeffs is is a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint (FLDS) which does regard the Book of Mormon to be the Word of God, so he is a Mormon. However, he is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) which is (by far) the largest church which regards the Book of Mormon to be the Word of God, so he is unlike any Mormon you are likely to meet.
Anyone can become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) if they choose to be. The only requirement to be a Mormon is a desire and willingness to serve and obey God.
Answer The Mormon religion believes that the Heavenly Father (God) had several sons by his divine wife, two of these sons were Jesus and Lucifer. No other religion holds this belief and it is one of the reasons that all the Christian denominations reject Mormon claims that they are a Christian group. The Mormon religion has cartoons which illustrate this teaching.
This has been part of Mormon teaching for many decades. Do some research and see what you come up with. The links may be a good starting point. The 'How Did God Become God' link explains a little about the Mormon belief that God was once a man as we are, and he and his wife peopled the world with their children. Every Mormon man can hope to become a god of his own world and people it with his wife, if certain conditions are met. You can also find many fairytales in Hinduism of their Gods and their variety of wives.

No! I'm Mormon and I certainly do not believe that.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Joseph Smith was lead to the place where some ancient metal plates were buried by an angel of God. The writings on these plates were then translated into the Book of Mormon by the power of God.
