Glad you understand that your post is more parsing and obfuscation. The death penalty has historically been used as punishment for murder. Have you ever seen a person that died from hanging? Not a pretty sight. And before you ask, yes I have seen several. I have also seen gunshot deaths. Neither is pleasant. Personally, as a Mormon, I would either go for the death penalty for murderers and child molesters or exile to a well guarded island for life.
My post #927 from the article I linked:For more than 30 years, this belief in blood atonement, and the practice of polygamy, blocked accommodation between Utah's Mormon "Kingdom" and Washington.
Exactly HOW does your post The death penalty has historically been used as punishment for murder. Have you ever seen a person that died from hanging? Not a pretty sight. And before you ask, yes I have seen several. I have also seen gunshot deaths. Neither is pleasant. Personally, as a Mormon, I would either go for the death penalty for murderers and child molesters or exile to a well guarded island for life. relate to whether the mormon church was, for 30 years, unable to reach "accommodation between Utah's Mormon "Kingdom" and Washington"?
As I said, you are obfuscating:
