If a person does not care about their theology, they miss the importance of rooting their entire life in the true knowledge of God and a true, coherent, rational, theological worldview. A person's relationship with God is built on the foundation of what one believes about God and what it means to be right with God, and this is the most important determining factor in shaping the way a person lives. An atheological person does not seriously reflect on their own foundational worldview assumptions (e.g., what is truth, who is God, does this matter?), nor do they see how doing so would be relevant to everyday life.
Many Mormons, when asked what others should do if Mormonism is deeply dishonoring God, is false, and is sending people to everlasting conscious torment, answer that they should just leave Mormons alone.
I’m an Atheo...
This statement just boggles the mind that there are those who don't have a problem letting people spend eternity separated from God just to left alone.
Item G is interesting to me. What is meant by the “joe smith translation”?
So basically trying to pin down the doctrine of the LDS is like try to pin down a car salesman on the price of the car he’s trying to sell you?
At best, this statement is only half true.
When applied to Mormonism, atheological means we Latter-day Saints do not engage much in what is sometimes called "philosophical theology." So yes, in that sense we tend to lack concern for theology.
However, that is not the same as saying we lack a concern for the truth. Philosophical theology is not the only way of discovering the truth, or even the best way.
Jesus taught that the way to know whether a doctrine comes from God is by obedience to God:
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. (John 7:15-17)
We take seriously Paul's admonition to the Colossians:
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (1 Col. 2:8).Mormons tend to believe that revelation, faith, and experience are more important than philosophy or theology in discerning the truth. For me, Mormonism is a way of life based on a covenantal relationship with God, not merely a set of philosophical beliefs.
