You haven't read your Bible then, because He (as God) told the Israelites to kill all the Canaanites in the Promised Land and leave none alive. Oh, wait. That was the Old Testment.

Your post was too long and rambled quite a bit about things I didn't bring up, so I only read the first paragraph. As for expelling people, which was your original point, the LDS did none of that. Noone was living in the Wasatch valley when Brigham Young settled Utah. The Saints only developed into an autonomous people because intolerant people such as yourself would not allow them to practice their religion. So get your facts straight.

Everyone agrees that the Massacre should never have happened, so to come here and attack the church for something that has never been proven to have happened is troubling and disruptive. Please take your religion-bating elsewhere.

And why was that? Because of the sins of the Canaanites. God even warned the Israelites not to do as the Cannanites had sone sest the land spew them out also! They did, it did.

It’s not religion-baiting. Mormonism was the subject of the thread. Why don’t you answer the questions?

You did bring up an interesting point, though. Both Islam and Mormonism rely on the vindictive God of a literal interpretation of the Old Testament.
