Why did I ever read beyond the slaying of Laban?

[_3sheets2thewind]

You kept reading because killing laban made sense to you. It makes sense to those of us in post polpot, Stalin, Hitler era. The basic principle of killing laban is logical, that is it is better to kill one person than for a while Nation to be destroyed.

Did you see the movie wherein Tom Cruise played a Nazis who attempted to kill Hitler in hopes of saving Germany....granted it is not the same as Laban but the principle is sound.

Actually a more apt analogy would be the Nazi leaders (Nephi) who followed Hitler's (God's)instruction to wipe out the Jewish population because they thought it made sense or because they were frightened of Hitler's (God's) wrath.

It is just as easy to spear the Bible as the Book of Mormon.

Yes it is. Doesn't help you.

There are plenty of takers out there doing it to the Bible. The fact that this board abstains from Bible skewers is how patently obvious your objectivity would fall under the bus. That would exceedingly lighten the weight you want to bring against Joseph Smith alone.

Obviously you're pretty new around here. The Bible has been skewered plenty.

You know she does not believe in God at all don't you? Sheeeeee only pretends for the same reason to bring as much weight against Joseph Smith as possible.

What's with this Tanner fixation you have? By the way, I find that not believing in God at all is far more devastating to Joseph Smith's truth claims than simply interpreting the Bible differently than LDS do.

Anyway, I wonder what about my own morality, when I was growing up Mormon, did not kick in and tell me that the killing for the Lord at the beginning of the Book of Mormon was repugnant to the point that I would be compelled to stop reading?

What, exactly, do you find "repugnant" about it?

I suppose you'd have no problem lying for the Lord if you don't find someone murdering for the Lord repugnant.

That didn't anwer my question.

Are you trying to derail your own thread...?

How can you see my answer if you have me on ignore?

I find murder repugnant. If you don't, you're hopelessly a f*cked up Mormon.

Huh. I haven't been here for a while, I forgot I had you on ignore. I'm not sure how I can see your posts...unless my ignore list got cleared.

No discussion...I'm just a "f*cked up 'Mormon'". It's a wonder I had you on ignore...

Put me back on your ignore.

Sad and weak.
