LDS Mormons aren't Arian, they are tritheist.
Mormonism as well contains additional overriding scripture, like how Islam has the Qur'an in comparison with Christianity or how Christianity has the New Testament in comparison with old Judaism. Which seems make them separate religions, as all of these extra scriptures make the faiths significantly different from each other.
All of these religions have God as the centrepoint (although LDS Mormonism could be less so due to it being polytheist)
Yes, Mormonism puts a focus on a character called Jesus who's somewhat based on Jesus of Nazareth which Islam also does, but there's also a sect of Hinduism which does the same. Is this Christianity, too?
Okay, I think at some point we're talking past each other more than to each other. You are clearly much more invested than I am in the relative truth claims, categorization, and internal consistency of various bronze-age mythologies and their propagandized descendants.
You're drawing bright lines in places that I don't find particularly interesting as a non-believer more interested in secular history than apologetic theology. Still, I suspect the bright lines are very important in that context. If you would like to claim this one as a win, please feel free. Have a lovely weekend!
Fair, one does not "win" an argument on the internet 🤣
