To a person, when they got frustrated trying to answer my questions their fall back was, "We don't have to worry about these kinds of questions. If we have a concern we simply ask the bishop, (stake pres, custodian, etc.). Tthey give us the answer and we're good with that.

Good observation, as we see this almost to a "T" here. Getting clarity on mormon doctrine is much like nailing jello to the wall. The 'living' prophet is only useful so far - then they throw them under the bus. Furthermore, they have to wade through the clear contradictions within their 'doctrine' (standard works).

Thanks, but I do have to ad this. My experience leads me to believe that the average Mormon congregant believes that Jesus Christ on the cross has provided for his salvation and is no more or less informed about his church's theology than the average mainstream Christian believer.
