    Although I am no fan of Mormonism, I feel compelled to point out
that the testimony of one's neighbors concerning one's morals is no
true gauge of anything except popularity.  In case you've forgotten,
Jesus was crucified by popular consensus.  The number of cases of
popular persecution of the enlightened is quite large.  The fact that
people disapprove only shows that the moral standards involved are
different, not that they are better or worse.
