Read up on Sand Creek and get back to me with your idiocy. You really need to get your meds checked, I think you're having a bad interaction and don't realize it.
Stick with the program, Dirtboy.
The context we're talking about is how religion influences terrorist attacks. What has ever been claimed to have been done in God's name in the 1860s in Sand Creek?
YOU are the one who brought up the religious connection in post #51 when you said: Well, perhaps you can point me to the 9/11 hijackers who were Mormons...
So you can't even stick to your own premises to try to make some sorry point?
So, let's review so that you can actually follow the discussion this time:
YOU, post #51...Islam's influence of 9/11 terrorists, 2001...
ME, post #63, mention of Mormonism's influence of 9/11 terrorists, 1857...
YOU, post #65, mention of Sand Creek massacre from the 1860s...
Are you now claiming that the Sand Creek massacre, carried out by the Government, was done in "God's Name?" Really? Who claimed that? When? I thought it was the Govt -- doing what Govts have done at times -- overreached and committed a gross massacre. You think differently? How and why?
Secondly, no Christians that I know of rushed in to defend the actions -- or the leader of those actions (Chivington). [Unlike the Mormon leaders who defended and protected the Mormon slaughterers]
Thirdly, all kinds of former (& even some present) "preachers" have gone off the deep end. There are counterfeit Christians all over. Hey, just look @ Romney & the baby-killing he's advocated.
But you're up a dry creek if you think you can (a) link the Sand Creek governmental actions to being religiously motivated; and (b) if you somehow think the entirety or even most of the cavalry militia that acted that day were professed Christians. Beyond its leader, I would bet you have no proof.
