You don’t understand Mormonism very well do you? We have sevenbak and DelphiUser giving each other high fives ‘cuz they finally have caught up to the official Sunday School lesson and are on the same one as the rest of the 12,000,000 members worldwide.
The LDS machine tells you what you must teach on any given Sunday no matter what holiday it might be, what country you live in, or what disaster may have befallen your congregation. Any deviation from the “lesson plan” must be corrected as soon a possilbe.
The LDS Church sets rules (guidelines) on how many earrings you may wear, how short your shorts can be, what you may eat or drink, and the exact language of prayer (ye olde english, of course). There isn’t a great deal of diversion among the LDS, and when there is you hear about it. Harry Reid is a prime example. Do a search and see what Mormons think about how he colors outside the lines.
When you say Mormon, you ARE in fact stating where someones posistion probably lies. If their posistion deviates too much, you have someone like me, a Mormon who is ostracized.
