“do you think there may have been a connection? Please put aside your religious bigotry for a moment.”
You’d have to be morally blind to justify the murder of women and children.
It’s reprehensible teppe.
Your bigotry blinds you.
What I said is that the LDS people were under attack by the US government. Yes, some people in desperation at the prospect of being attacked striked out and did unspeakable carnage.
Do you have any sympathy for the Mormons murdered in NY, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois?
Or is your sympathy for murdered innocent women and children only invested in your religious bigotry?
If so .... you are a Christian in name only.
What those people did at Mtn Meadows Massacre was such an unspeakable horror that it will be a stain on people who profess LDS Christianity forever.
If there was a pattern or repeat of this horrendous-massacre then you may have a point; however, since there never has been .... the only way to describe it is that those people who committed this offense were in desperation to ward off what they believed as their probable destruction at the hands of the US Army.
The Massacre happened when the US Army was only 200 miles away from Utah!
Are you such a religiously bigoted jug-head that you actually can’t see a connection? If you can’t be that honest, the spirit of truth and Christ himself cannot be a resident in your heart.
