you may consider yourselfs to be followers of anything, but the truth is, your Mormon doctrince is held higher than the Word of God in your mindset...otherwise known as the bible..... it seems no discussion can precede unless it reflects the Mormon view.....
I know there has been a big push to make everyone think that Mormons are true Christians, as if its a selling point to the great unwashed......
but I think its only a convinience to do so..
admittedly, many Mormon teachings or practices are Christian based.....but when you come right down to it, Christ is not the center of their religion.......
it does seem that the Mormon church has "evolved" as the need arose.....
Thats an utter lie. EVERYTHING in LDS doctrines and teachings revolves around Christ.

Um, pardon me for interrupting you dogmatic straw man building; then burning, but how do you KNOW what individual Mormons believe? I mean you’re not one, right? I mean who would want to hear the Mormon point of view when discussing Mormons? </Sarc>

GRIN - You may wash before believing, it’s allowed in the Book of Mormon.

Christian based, IE Followers of Christ, be careful talking out of both sides of your mouth like that, you could bite your tongue real badly! (um again with the telling me what I am centered on?) You are centered on Jelly Doughnuts; therefore you are not a Christian! </Absurdity Illustration>

It’s called revelation, you would probably have told Moses he couldn’t reveal the 10 commandments because god doesn’t change (He doesn’t, but I hope we do!)
To Sum up, We are Christians because we do our best to follow Christ according to our understanding, and you have no authority to tell us we are not Christians.
(Pardon my spelling and grammar corrections to the excerpts from your post)
There is a degree of truth when one says Mormonism revolves around everything Christ did. The significant problem is that faith in God must run THROUGH our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus,...not about and around Him. Acts 3:22 comes to mind.
