Not your average Mormon
That's an interesting comment. I think one of the mainstream Christians are so critical of Mormonism is that Mormonism is quite different in this regard. While the rest of Christianity's focus is on God being inaccessible, unknowable and, in short, a mystery we're not supposed to understand, Mormonism responds by telling us that we are His literal spirit offspring, as opposed to merely His creations. It tells us we are of the same species and are, in fact, "gods in embryo." Most Christians see this as the ultimate heresy. I would agree with your premise, though, except as it can be applied to Mormonism.
