Talk:Cultural Mormonism

Survivor Guatemala Guy
What about the current leader in "Survivor: Guatemala"? I don't watch the show so I don't know his name. But a local radio talk show host talked about him and used the term "Cultural Mormon" because he is raised in a family culture that is LDS but he was never baptized. This would be a new use of the term that is currently not covered in this article. I would have added this information myself, but I don't know the guy's name. Val42 15:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The Other Cultural Mormons
What about Mormons who don't understand the actual doctrine and have created an almost different religion...the cultural religion of Mormonism. For instance, there has never been an explicit revelation for the prohibition of caffeine, yet everyone in Happy Valley, Utah looks down on those who might partake. They do this, even though you can get a temple recommend just fine while answering truthfully that you obey the "word of wisdom". Anti-caffeine Mormons seem to be Cultural Mormons even though they may absolutely believe in the Church, they just happen to believe in extra-canonical beliefs as well. They believe in the culture even if it contradicts/adds to/takes away from the actual doctrine. 155.100.147.183 01:14, 7 January 2006
