How is it shocking that anyone would think that Mormons aren't Christians? While Christianity is tied to a person (Jesus Christ) who lived around AD 32 in Palestine, Mormonism seeks or sought to transplant the same Son of God to America through a series of texts set in an America that is easy to historically disprove. There is no evidence that any of the individuals mentioned in the Book of Mormon ever existed. Us Christians have a problem with Mormonism not because we can necessarily prove our claim that Jesus was the son of God, but because it is easy to historically disprove and discount every single claim made in the book of Mormon.
