The Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope, on a tour of the United States, passed through Utah, and decided to drop in on Brigham Young. It did not go well. From Trollope's autobiography:
"I did not achieve great intimacy with the great polygamist of Salt Lake City. [...] He received me in his doorway, not asking me to enter, and inquired whether I was not a miner. When I told him that I was not a miner, he asked me whether I earned my bread. I told him I did. "I guess you're a miner," said he. I again assured him I was not. "Then how do you earn your bread?" I told him I did so by writing books. "I'm sure you're a miner," said he. Then he turned upon his heel, went back into the house, and closed the door."

Haha! Staunchly believing something to be so, despite being presented with information to the contrary, yes - that checks out for someone whose core business is religion.
Ps. Speaking of "religion", I just watched Good Omens Series 2 Episode 3. Crowley's Bentley turning yellow ... brilliant!!
I mean ... that ... Utah hasn't changed AT ALL.
Funny how he didn't appreciate a stranger knocking on his door
Wonderful. And in preparation for unwelcome guests, and maybe some welcome ones, I'm going to practise turning upon my heel. Not convinced I'll use the "I'm sure you're a miner." line, but who knows...
