Sorry. That's just not the defining factor in christianity. The word itself means christ like. not just believing in christ. I am not saying edith isn't absurd and ridiculous because of her strong reaction to calling mormons christian. BUT no scholar of religions or religious scholar would call "believing jesus is god." the defining factor of whether an organization is christian or not.
You don't get to reinvent words just because you're a moron.

Unless youve got your head shoved far up a particular One, a Christian sect looks much like another One from some distance away.

All I said was what Mormons believe is different than what I believe as a Christian. To me their doctrines and practices are strange and don't relate to my understanding of Biblical Christianity. Pointing out a difference does not imply bigotry. Treating people poorly/differently based on differences does. Or are we now living in the age where we pretend everyone is just like everyone else for the sake of political correctness?
Who made you the arbiter of whether someone is Christian or not?
They say they are Christian. They believe in the divinity of Jesus. Who are you to say they're not "real" Christians?
Jesus would pwn you for being a pharisee.

From an ecumenical perspective, the only real old school belief of Christianity that stands in direct contradiction to Mormonism is the Trinity. Mormons believe they are materially different (united in purpose I think is what they say), whereas most demominations believe the Trinity is made of the same being. Everything that the Mormons add on top of Christian doctrine doesn't really matter. If I accept the basic tenets of Christianity but also believe that drinking urine will purify my spirit, that doesn't make me a non-Christian. It just makes me a crazy Christian.

That's just a rehash of the oldest debate in Christianity. The arians and the monophsysites and the trinitarians killed eachother for hundreds of years over it. But not even they suggested their rivals weren't Christian for believing the other way. Calling something a heresy is basically an admission it is Christian, just not proper.
