[quote=Anonymous][[b]quote=Anonymous]Mormons are not Christians.  The easy answer to your question is "No.  They have their faith and their beliefs, but are not Christians."[/quote][/b]

True.  Note also that is why mormons do not ever wear crosses as jewelry or lapel pins and do not have crosses in their churches.  The LDS church discovered that if it wanted to be more successful in Latin America and in the USA converting former hispanic Catholics, then they had to include more emphasis on Jesus.  So the PR that you see is, as a PP noted, much more Jesus-heavy than it was even a decade or two ago.  But research it.  Mormons believe Adam and Eve are our mother and father.  Jesus is just one of God's son's, just like we are Adam and Eve's children.  They do not focus on the cross or the Resurrection.  Instead they pray (arms folded, not traditional prayer position) and meditate on Jesus' trials in the Garden of Gethsemene.  After a life of attempted perfection on earth (doing a mission, getting a temple recommend, giving 10% of gross, marrying in the temple, having as many babies as possible), a good Mormon believes they will go to the top "Celestial" heaven.  The rest of us are in the other two layers of heaven or in "outer darkness" (that's bad).  When early wife and husband are joined in Celestial heaven and achieve perfection, they, like Adam and Eve, go off to another planet and populate just like earth - ergo not Christianity because it believes that every good Mormon will become a God or Goddess.[/quote]
