Sir, this is a discussion of Christianity, not politics.
Reminds me how some commentator recently, I think it was Rush, dug up a quote from Abraham Lincoln about a particularly vicious Copperhead (seditionist) who held some office at the time. Lincoln said that the Copperhead's seditious words were more responsible for stirring up insurrection than the boys who actually carried out a recent crime against the Government and the Civil War.
Lincoln threw the office holder in jail!
In the same sense, I believe our beliefs determine who we are -- and determine what we do. Our beliefs our powerful. The truth is neither you nor I know if the dead young man "caused any harm" or not, right?
But it is pertinent to discuss, in a generalized way, the religious cause for which this boy was working for when he was slain.

Sir, this is a discussion of Christianity, not politics.No, this is a discussion about a young man's brutal and senseless murder.
As a former Mormon I find your zeal misplaced and wholly ineffective to its intended purpose.
