Mormons teach "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become".
God was once a man, did all the right things and led a perfect life, and as a reward became God of this world and populated it with his spirit children, Jesus & Lucifer being brothers.
You TOO can become God of your own world, just let them show you how!
Well you've put your own stank on it, but you're essentially accurate.
The purpose of this life is to give us a chance to prove whether we, as God's children, want to become more like Him. Those who demonstrate a valiance for the truth and righteousness in this life have the opportunity to progress in the eternities to come. This is not a privilege that is exclusive to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We just know more about it is all.
Imagine. God's children wanting to become like God. Crazy!
You're taking that verse out of context. It's talking about apostates who think they can reshape God to meet their own ideas and definitions. You know, like the Nicene Creed did.
If you're gonna Bible-bash, please don't bowdlerize the Bible to do it.

"Thinking themselves wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into corruptible man"
Keep on spinning.
