So, you are saying that by positive association, we can't conclude anything about Mormonism?

I see you cherry-picked your Biographical examples. I can do the same thing in reverse--using negative examples. And these at least brings your post to a dead draw.

Mormon murderers like...

...Gary Gilmore & Ronnie Lee Gardner...

..or ex-Lds missionary-to-Philippines Arthur Gary Bishop...

...or 5-time Mormon killer Glenn Taylor Helzer...

...Or ex-Lds missionary murderer to Winnipeg Mark Hacking...

..Or bomber-murderer-scammer Mark Hofmann...

...or ex-Lds missionary-to-France fugitive murderer Jason Brown...

...or 19th century murderer Porter Rockwell, one of Brigham Young's and Joseph's Smith's body guards...

...or Wild Bill Hickman, another of Young's body guards, who wrote a "tell-all" book about it...

....or the dozens to hundreds of Mormon child mass murderers/mommy&daddy mass murderers never even brought to trial for the execution-style Mountain Meadows Massacre...In fact, 5-6 of them were either already or were to become bishops, counselors, or another formal leadership role.

I mean, Arthur Gary Bishop, Mark Hacking, and Jason Brown were all former Lds missionaries. I mean what? Do we find all kinds of murderers in the former CHRISTIAN missionary population?

Yes? Where?

I can go on: Ted Bundy; Christopher Gribble; Toni Fratto; Kody Patten; a Utah doc who murdered his wife, etc

And how many Catholic mass murderers are there, or Protestant? Jewish? Muslim? Hindu? People nominally from all of those religions, and others, have committed atrocities, as individuals or groups. I’m sure we can all name names all day long.

Perhaps we should instead NOT religion-bash, but rather evaluate individuals on the basis of their actions and hold them accountable for those alone.

There is a lot of bigotry on this thread. It’s embarrassing.
