No, I reject Mormonism because I believe it’s a bunch of bunk n’ hooey, as I do of most aspects of Christianity and some other religions, which has absolutely nothing to do with you. If anything, you’re an example of the _good_ people of Mormonism. 🙂

He actually made me look into Mormonism, which I knew nothing about last year. He certainly promotes it well. An internet missionary! 🙂
