That's all very interesting, but, it doesn't explain how a Mormon faith that claims the way to eternal salvation for all mankind is through the atonement of Jesus Christ as your universal savior is... somehow... not Christian.
Other factions that use The Bible as their mythol... I mean, gospel interpret various parts of it with different meanings. Catholics, among others, are quite clear they are not biblical literalists.

Christian beliefs derive from the Bible which denies the fact that there are other gods
Is this really true?
The old testament seems to indicate otherwise. And the new testament doesn't really seem definitive on the subject. It's clear the thrust of the bible is that God is the only God we should care about. But that's no different than what Mormons say really.

Christians believe there is only one God. So many people here are ignorant of Christianity. Its sad that Yuki, a very smart educated person, talks like an expert about things he knows nothing about

I'm asking for a biblical citation, not what you think christians believe. Can you give me one?
I'm wracking my memory and I can't come up with anything. But like I said I am no expert, especially not on the new testament. The old testament definitely has parts that seem to imply other gods exist. I can't remember anything from the new testament that really definitely rules out the existance of other gods. There's plenty of stuff about worshiping God as your only God but that doesn't really speak directly to the issue.

There's plenty of stuff about God being the one true God and the only God you should worship and that sort of thing. But I'm not sure that means that other gods are figments of people's imaginations. Just that they don't compare to Yahweh.

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in that vein. But I don't see that as very different from the Mormon belief that there may be other gods out there but belief in God and Jesus is what's important and belief in those other gods doesn't get you anywhere.

It is kindof fun watching people who cling to a particular Bible-driven dogma cling to just particular passages or books in attempts to make it 'logical.'
For instance:
Exodus 12:12 - “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD."
