“You apparently fail to realize the connection between Mormon history which is replete with cases of blood atonement and calls thereof and the current choice of method of execution.”

I don't see any connection. I don't know of any church official that selected the manner of execution, but some have more information on how the selection was made.

What about all this stuff?

The prisoner chose the method of execution becaues of his belief in blood atonement based upon the LDS teachings of the past and the current lay theology of many members.

I don't see any connection.

I am not surprised...
