I agree with you, BigSky. Surely, if one does not like Mormon doctrine, one can give it a miss. Most of them seem to be pure living and hard working people, and they are willing to found families, which is a blessing in itself.
Their undies seem to cause a storm of hatred. But I do not care. The explanation which I heard (from a Mormon lady, not someone who had a case against them), is that “the garment” is worn by both men and women, and is a reminder to keep chaste.
Although their training, and abstaining from some drinks,etc., might seem odd, the truth is that most religions impose rituals and prohibitions on people. In fact, following such rules can be of benefit and give a bit of structure to life.
You must 'care' about something; or you would not be posting...
If you don’t care about other people going to hell, then I pity you.
No doubt the LDS put forth an image (not nearly as accurate as most would think) as clean living and hard working, but that won’t get you to Heaven.
And, having been there, garments are NOT a reminder to ‘keep chaste’, they are a reminder of BLOOD OATHS taken in the Temple.
