They arnt Christians. Nothing wrong with saying that because its true
After about three minutes of reading, I can say that Mormons are Christian, and you're either trolling or an idiot.
I'm seriously torn between the two.

The crux of the issue is the position taken by Mormonism as to the roles of God and Jesus.
This site -> http://www.christiananswers.net/q-acb/acb-r002a.html would lead me to agree with Bonk, ie, Mormons are NOT in acceptance of pure Christian doctrine.
Of course, in the Wonderful World of Whackoism, those that believe in invisible deities seem the most predilected to argument and strife regarding their beliefs.

The only Christian belief not held by Mormons is the view of the Trinity (they still believe in it but not as the same being). Since other churches have also altered this belief without being judged so harshly it seems only fair to call them Christians. The fact that they added another layer of crazy just means they're crazy Christians.

Mormons will be the first to tell you they aren't Christians. Their religion contradicts with Christianity in many ways, specially the part where Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
I've been told by missionarys that I'm gonna go to hell even if I followed the Christian doctrine to the letter. They told me that it wasn't enough that Jesus died for my sins, I had to be baptized in their church or im gonna burn fer sure.

Mormons believe. If that belief gets other Christians into heaven then it will get Mormons in as well. This is why Mormons are in fact Christians.

The Mormons themselves say they are Christians.
Various official church communications like this one SAY they are Christians.

That other sects don't like their company, well, that's too bad. But there you are. They're self-proclaimed Christian. Why would you claim to be something you don't believe you are... particularly when you're a religion whose goal is to differentiate from others so that you get followers into your faith instead of other faiths?
It's all just butthurtedness.

They can call themselves whatever they want I certainly don't care. The fact is their religion is based on one of the biggest blasphemes you can commit with their Book of Mormon.
They are as much Christian as those who practice Santeria.

Only according to your sect's interpretation of The Bible and the word of Jesus therein. There are *definitely* Christians who do not take The Bible literally, or whom have differing interpretation of what is even literal based on historical contexts and learnings.
Or, I suppose those are also not "Christians" ?

Mormons are as christian as christians are jewish... (fyi christians are not jewish).
In my opinion, catholicism is also not really christian eithr...they call themselves catholic obviously instead of christian.
The further you get from the original the less christian you are. Its like saying english is latin.
Mormons and catholics are rooted in christianity but they have mutated it quite a bit and made it something different.
