He’s certainly not one of the ‘good guys’. He did wrong and should be punished for his ill deeds, just like people of other religions should.

What "religious" people are you referencing here? I'm not saying a "religious" tag innoculates people from committing crimes...including these kinds of crimes...but how many men with a religious titled "calling" are on the loose with tasers, handcuffs, and ready-made containers that he was trying to lure her and stuff her in?

Furthermore, the contrast involved here is heavier. How many "people of other religions" (your reference) bill themselves as "supermen?"

I mean, all we'd need is for a guy like this to be a crowd like the one Lds "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball spoke to in the 70s -- and we'd hear Hallum referenced by a Mormon "prophet" as one of the "brethren": "Brethren, 225,000 of you are here tonight. I suppose that 225,000 of you may become gods" (from The Ensign, November 1975 republished in 1980)

Men sinning and committing these type of crimes, no matter what "religious tag" they wear? (Yeah, I understand that). But the fall seems to be a lot greater when you have so-called "gods-in-embryo" who were previously confirmed by a person supposedly guided directly by the Mormon god.

IOW, even from a Mormon perspective, the greater the fall, the greater the tragedy. And instead of being "tragedy-struck," you immediately kick it in to "other religions" gear.

Lame response full of misquotes. You are drowning in your hatred of Mormons.

So, by reading your disjointed post, you are basically saying that this criminal’s motive was that he was directed by the mormon god to do it, and somehow there was great tragedy involved, and something about 225,000 men, plus there are gods-in-embryo involved as well...interesting view...magritte

Interesting. Just thinking about that statement. If you actually believe that you are "god in training", then it follows that what you want you should get, after all you are a god (to be).
