I read that whole thing, Major Carleton's report. The link is in post #608. Take a look at the end. By then, he has described Latter-Day Saints in wholly-depraved terms in order to justify his call for their entire extermination, blaming the massacre on nearly all Latter-Day Saints. He thereby destroys his credibility, but still manages to deceive many.

Congressional testimony should never be restricted regardless of its content providing it is public record and not a matter of national security

That aside - it is not up to you to assess Maj Carletons sincerity - you look at it with a seasoned eye that claims victimhood (no offense intended) - additionally, if we are going to discuss apologetics of other faiths, yours is certainly likly to be included.....and based on the mods statements - they will let a thread as such stand, providing the ensuing discourse is palatable....and have stated as much here

Additionally, you state lies of a sexual nature"

I am not aware of those, but am aware of verifiable records as to the marital habits of LDS founders, - which are not germaine to this thread.

Your #853: Congressional testimony should never be restricted regardless of its content providing it is public record and not a matter of national security

Look carefully. This is not congressional testimony. It was not under oath. This is an 1859 military report that was published as a House of Representatives document in 1902.

>> That aside - it is not up to you to assess Maj Carletons sincerity

So you and others get to assess that, but I do not?

I think Major Carleton was quite excessively sincere. He would have been happy to see another extermination order. He called for one.

When you make a post advocating the extermination of an entire Christian denomination, trust me, I'll presume you really mean it.
