Well, I'm not really concerned with his opinion on what Mormonism is, just what his perception what Mormonism is. I should probably just ask his fiance, she was born into it.

Tho its all far from perfect I love the USA ! ;D
I support them in the things they do so long as it isnt oppressing people.
Oh but wait i guess that guy riding down the street with a car loaded full of explosives. Just feels oppressed by the fact people can vote in Iraq now and vote proudly.
