I have become something of an historian on the early Mormon church

Judging from your post, searcher for anti-Mormon sensationalism would be more descriptive.

But the ground of sensational heresy in Mormonism is so fertile, how could one not find sensational material?

“Judging from your post, searcher for anti-Mormon sensationalism would be more descriptive.”

Actually, no it wouldn’t. Unlike you, I actually quote from first hand historical works while you only cite bubkiss, nada, zilch, hot air - get my drift? I’ve just gotten into Ann Young’s account of her murderous, lying thieving polygamous husband Brigham Young. He was heavy into Blood Atonement - the killing of apostates and Gentiles. This same legacy lives on the the Mormon church, which excommunicates and culls dissenters in a less bloody but no less effective way.

Sensationalism is if I personally blew something out of proportion. When you get eye witness accounts of how Mormons act, it’s hard to call it sensationalism.

Chapter ten about blood atonement and 13 about the Mountain Meadows massacre are particularly frightening. Why anyone would want to drag this legacy into the presidency is beyond comprehension.
