[edit] Simple theology

Mormonism's theology is removed of tension and full of simple explanations. For example, rather than deal with the tension of the Trinity, Incarnation, or Faith and Works issues, Mormonism gives simplistic answers: there is not one God in three persons, but three Gods; Jesus was not the God (i.e., Son) who became man, but was the man who became God; works are not a fruit of being saved alone by grace through faith, but it's simply both grace and works together that help us achieve (and receive) salvation. Again, tension is removed from LDS thought, thus enabling many people to embrace a simple theology.^[1]
