Mr. Steed has stated under oath what his beliefs are, that those beliefs are sacred to him, and that they are sincerely held by him.

Owwww! my conspiracy gland just burst from overuse, shit...
<i>Under the Banner of Heaven</i> is a chilling look into the world of Mormon fundamentalists, and the fundamental hypocrisy of Joseph Smith, who just couldn&#039;t understand why God made those teenage girls so freaking irresistible if he didn&#039;t want Joseph Smith to fuck them.
