Yep that sounds about right. I joined Mormonism as a teenager, but not really for social reasons (although that was a bonus). I really believed it. I didn’t see myself as a sinner, and Mormonism doesn’t teach it. They instead see the Fall as a GOOD THING and re-define sin to be ‘missing the mark’ not living up to potential instead of rebellion against sin.

And yeah, LDS services always focus on ‘the Church’ or Smith or something, never really Christ.

Don't tell me that it was for the cool underwear! :)
