Where did that idea come from anyway?
I also heard he was LDS, which just goes to show how we should be skeptical of such tales. His Wiki says " He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian[1] and received communion more than once a week.[2] "

Love the series, though I agree with Elph -- to many "crossed her arms under her breasts" and "swirled her skirts". Love Mat & the Band of the Red Hand. "I don't care what they say, I'm *not* marrying the daughter of the Nine Moons!"
