Read Under the Banner of Heaven. The beginnings of the Mormon church are “interesting” to say the least.
All the LDS have to do is to continues in being honest in our dealing and all your anti Mormon banners mean nothing!
"Under the Banner of Heaven" is trash from a liberal secular agnostic. It is so bad that Ann Coulter specifically targets it in her book "Godless, The Church of Liberalism". The author among other things blames "Christian Fundamentalists" for terrorism and resposibility for 9/11.
Why would you even mention such liberal trash on FR as an authority on anything, let alone my faith?
I have read it BTW, a liberal professor in our community was using it for his class. When I caught wind of it a few of us went to him and asked to be part of the class discussion. He couldn't really say no. He was promoting the typical college anti-religion BS just trying to use Mormonism as an example to slander all Christianity.
Why is it when it comes to the Mitt or Mormon issue conservatives start spouting liberal trash like "Banner of Heaven" or DNC talking points?
