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.

I could ramble pointlessly - you wont listen - you dont care to understand - I could say context xontext context - Carleton lived in a period of great upheaval - great violence - No one condones that now - I think you know that. That statement in itself is inflammatory - and I will chide anyone who doesnt see it as such (they're losing sleep - I know LOL)
We've been throught he whole denomination thing as well - a condition of including a denomination among the others as participatory of the same body is the creeds - which to my understanding are not part of LDS doctrine. IMO therefore they exist outside of body "Christianity" - of course thats my opinion and I am subject to error.
sincere apologies if that offends
....and with that - I will tell the mods - HE's ALL YOURS, IM DONE RESPONDING TO HIM
goodnight everyone
I will say though - that Maj Carletons comments deserve a thread -as does the MMM - as does Smith treatment - incarceration etc, and I look forward to threads which are informative and allow for even handed dialogue
I think perhaps that could be misunderstood.
"Should you ever make a post" would be clearer.
No one expects such a post from you, I am sure.
