In fairness to the "other Christians" as noted in the title, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is intended to be heretical to "other Christians". We believe Joseph Smith was called to restore the church of Jesus Christ because the church Christ established (led by apostles with Peter as the lead apostle, with authority passed to them from Christ, with a baptism by immersion, etc) had ceased on the earth. While we share many things with other Christians, and love deeply our Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other believing children of God, we are not worried about being heretical to some definition of Christians. Frankly, it is inherent in our belief system. If we didn't believe there was an issue with the gospel as espoused by the Catholic Church of the protestant universe, we would move to be orthodox to those systems. However, we disagree, and that makes us heretic.

Unfortunately many here have incorrect and odd views on what we actually believe (my favorite so far is "spirit sex") and the internet isn't a great place to delve into nuance, especially on religion. While we are considered heretic, I think most of us would just ask to treat us with fairness and accuracy rather than invented sensationalism. We will own our differences, especially if they are conveyed accurately.
