Sorry, but you've got your facts completely wrong here. Mormons very
much consider themselves a Christian church; in fact, they consider
their church to be the restoration of the church Christ originally
established. Jesus is a divine figure in the LDS church. He's
considered the literal son of God the Father; he's also considered the
creator of the Earth, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, and a god in his
own right.
