Some are close to the mark, and some are ridiculous.
Yes we believe that we are all spiritual beings, children of our Heavenly Father, and that includes Jesus and Lucifer. "As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ " - Acts 17:28
God has a throne in the heavens. (Psalm 103:19), which lies near a star or planet we call Kolob.
Jesus may or may not be married to one or more wives.(John 11:5, 1 Corinthians 11:11) Neither the Bible, nor any of our other scriptures mentions it, one way or the other. If he was married, he could have had children. He was fully mortal.
Yes, the Garden of Eden was actually in what is now Missouri.
No one of any race can enter into God's Kingdom until after the final judgement. That hasn't happened yet. Skin color has never been a deciding factor.
We baptize the living on behalf of the dead, so that they too can enter into a covenant with God, though they are but spirits until the resurrection. ( 1 Corinthians 15:29)
The faithful can become gods. (Revelation 3:21) To sit on the throne of God is to act as a god.
I don't believe there is a cosmic gum ball machine in heaven spitting out planets, but God and those who follow him seem to be in the business of creating and populating worlds.
According to the dictionary, anyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian. But not everyone is following Christ.
Our underwear is not magic, but is richly symbolic of covenants we have made in the temple, and we wear it in faith.
It isn't a sin to drink caffeine, per se, but it may be a sin to get addicted to it. Most people have far worse sins to worry about. We do abstain from coffee and tea, as these are specifically mentioned as unhealthy.

I always thought that it was funny, that in SLC, if you get a half block off of West or South Temple, it was as lusty and immoral as any Nevada town!

Back when I was a kid, my parents rented a house to a Mormon family, who shall remain nameless. They eventually moved to Utah, and we didn't figure would see them again.
But then my mom went on this genealogy kick for a number of years. As anybody who's done genealogy knows, that route eventually leads you to the Mormons. So we took a trip to Salt Lake City. I have personally seen the lake for which the town is named with my own eyes. I've also seen how ridiculously conservative the entire town is.
So, the short answer that I was getting around to is, yes. It's all true. These are things they believe, or at least once believed.
