[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wrong on the Mormon front?  Interesting.  I have researched this before and I can't find a main stream Christian denomination that considers them Christians.  [/quote]

They're not Christians. Some of that is revisioninist crap to neuter the Tea Party types so they'd support Romney[/quote]

As an outsider on this debate: If your kid is not young enough to understand the nuance, please don't spout your church's specific beliefs in a way that causes trouble for your young child.  We live in a very diverse society and your children need to learn how to negotiate that.  Since you clearly belong to a church that favors relationships with Christians to relationships with nonChristians (or this wouldn't come up), do your children a favor and give them answers that enable them to live amongst a variety of people.  Why on earth does your church care so much about classifying people into insiders and outsiders?

"Yes, Mormons believe that they are Christians, and it for God and not for us to say that they are not.  They believe very different things than we do, but they do believe that Jesus died for our sins, so yes, they are."

That will work.

As for the Jews and Muslims et al: "No, they are not Christians, but they believe many of the same things we do about how to be good people.  I don't know much about their beliefs, but I know that we share many of the same ideas about how to behave to other people.  Why do you ask?"

That should do for the rest.[/quote]
