“We are not fanatics, as some have thought we are, and some still say that we are a freak people, and believe in freak things. Let them say what they will. If it is freakish to serve God and keep his commandments, if it is freakish for us to observe the Word of Wisdom and abstain from the use of tobacco and tea and coffee, then let us be a freakish people, I would like to be that kind.”
– Melvin J. Ballard, 1922

Well, we’ve been looking for a new adjective to replace Mormon. . .
