Latter-day Saints are having a lot of fun over at the Mormon Matters blog. On Tuesday (4 March 2008) blogger John Nilsson posted My Top Ten Cultural Sins, or Why I Don’t Mark My Scriptures and freely confessed his shortcomings as a Latter-day Saint. Others have followed suit and what has resulted is a pretty funny read. I’ve provided a few LDS cultural confessions from the blog below, but if you have the time and would like to read some light-hearted Mormon banter, visit Mormon Matters.

• “I eat meat in the summer and in times of plenty.”
• “I am not a republican and do not consider Ronald Reagan an honorary member of the Godhead.”
• “I regularly fantasize about my wife wearing an outfit without garments.”
• “The Book of Mormon is not my favorite book, in fact it doesn’t make the top 100 list.”
• “Whenever anyone quotes 1 Ne 3:7 I open up to D&C 124:49.”
• “I use alcohol-based mouth wash.”
• “I plan to vote for a descendant of Cain in November.”
• “I put LDS book dust covers on murder mysteries to read during dull talks & testimonies.”
• “I enter into spastic, dry-heave-like convulsions at the mere mention of the word pageant.”
• “Sometimes when I’m at the grocery store I intentionally walk down the coffee aisle just because I love the smell.”
• “I often purposefully take the sacrament and sustain people with my left hand.”
