Sounds like you don't personally like the belief that Jesus visited the Americas, and based on that you're making a unilateral emotional decision not to consider them Christians.

Who is the "leader" of a denomination? If you're only talking about denominations with a single leader, then that's Catholicism and maybe some orthodox churches, but certainly not the Protestants. As for the Unitarians, well, I think you're way off the mark...

(This thread isn't useful for much else any more, and this topic isn't worth another thread - especially since it's been discussed.)

by head of the religion, i meant anyone in that demonination who is in a position of leadership, be it a bishop, a deacon, a pastor, etc, etc. like i said, feel free to ask them, in my experience (ive talked to quite a few) most have said they do not consider mormonism as christianity.

There are definitely plenty who accept Mormons as Christians. But you're being wiggly anyhow. You refused a definition of Christian, which is a strong indication of irrationality. So what did you mean? Do you mean that only people who meet certain criteria that can't be described are Christian? If so, then do you think all Baptists and Methodists and Catholics meet these criteria, and that no Mormons do?

please point me to which demoniation considers mormonism christianity (honestly, i'd like to know which ones). And i didn't "refuse" a definition of christian, i just refused YOUR definition, because in your definition somehow mormons fall under the "christianity" umbrella. Its definitely arguable whether it does or not ... i'm not saying its impossible under some definitions of the word "christianity", but the leaders of most (if not all) major denominations do not consider mormonism as christianity. As for your last question, as i stated early, most major denominations consider other major denomiations as "christian" (except some do not consider catholics christians, but thats definitely a better debate than mormonism). Anyways, like i said, i don't mind being proven wrong, so if you know of a major denomination that approves of mormonism, i'd like to know what that is!
