I think LDS culture has good and bad points, but sometimes church 'culture' can overtake the teachings. This is one of the reasons I am not active at the moment. When you are stopped from having callings/taking part in the church just because you don't conform to church culture, is in my eyes very sad and dangerous. It then becomes a church of men and not of God. This is proved by going to different stakes and different wards where there so many differences sometimes I wonder if its the same church atall!
