Mormons claim in effect that their religion predates Christianity (both Catholic and protestant), so why they want to call themselves Christians is beyond me.

And what about all of the old testament prophets who prophesied of Christs coming? Mormon's believe that Christs gospel was on the earth at various times prior to his birth. When Christ brought the gospel it was in fact a restoration of what had been on earth before.

“Mormon’s believe that Christs gospel was on the earth at various times prior to his birth. “

You should stop trying to call yourselves Christians then, and call yourselves “Holier Than Thou Christians” to distinguish yourselves.
