I'm not sure either. He's either a Christian or a Mormon, views the other group as a bunch of whackjobs, and doesn't want you to say anything mean about his omnipotent God.What distinction are you making? I don't care if they're selling Jesus, Allah or a Holy Goat - I don't have a sign at the bottom of my driveway saying "Please come on in and waste my time."
If I want religious instruction I'll seek it.
