Many get appalled when others suggest this very real possibility. Just like when you tell the lds that their leaders have taught that God had sex with Mary, the mother of Jesus, they try to deny this because its shocking.
By the same token, when you ask them where the first man got his body and if Heavenly Father has a father, why then does he say in the Scriptures that he knows of no other gods, the lds cannot answer. However, the Bible tells us God is a spirit. He was never a man. So for the Christian, we know the answers to these questions because God revealed them to us in His Word..
