But seriously only someone afflicted with Mormon Derangement Syndrome would joke at infanticide. The Lord takes a much more serious, less jovial view of the matter. No matter the particular denomination of the infants parent, IMO.
Your view of the matter reads more like a Michael Moore propoganda video. Only someone with MDS would treat the historical account as you have. As you have the details of the incident wrong. One of the mob members was a Doctor and has written a very interesting/objective account of the matter. They were going to mutilate Joseph Smith more and so they brought the Doctor along who couldn't go through with it. Your rewriting of some of the events doesn't even square with the mob's own account of the incident. At least someone in the mob had a conscious about the matter which you so quikly brush aside.
Joseph Smith's infant was legally adopted. Do you have a child? infant? Go ahead, expose your baby to the winter cold for many hours (not minutes as you made up) and when your infant dies the next day perhaps we can find some heartless person to say its all just a con game to gain sympathy. Legally the mob members could be charged with murder. If a man robs a bank and in the process of the crime someone is accidentally killed, (even if killed by the security guard by accident, who was trying to stop the roobbery) they can be charged with murder. You can look up the statutes. The mob murdered his infant son.
Luke 17: 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Who "joked" about infanticide?
Don't do that.
The fact is, the baby died of natural causes and it had nothing to do with the people who tarred Smith.
Only someone trying to stretch the facts in order to elicit sympathy that they are not entitled to would do so in order to justify a lecherous man like Smith who abused women and young girls (even as young as 15).
