I seem to recall - it’s a historical fact - that Christians sat in the pews singing spiritual hymns while Native Americans were slaughtered - not to mention the church going folk who had slaves. Get over yourself already!

Yea, and in some cases it was the Mormons practicing the wholesale slaughter of Indians, especially in Arizona!

However, that being said, it still does not compare to the practice (supposedly blessed by God) of the Mormon church of denying positions of leadership based on skin color!

Furthermore, there was nothing Christ-like in a racist rule like that.

Could you please quantify that comparison that you made about the Native Americans and the Blacks? Which do you consider the greater sin?
