1857? Really? And this is somehow relevant to people and problems of 2011?
Get a life.
What a pathetic low-life response.
Here, the theme all weekend of remembering the 9/11 victims from 2001 is that we would "never forget them."
Apparently, you would have your descendents in the year 2155 scold the public into trying to forget the victims of the Trade Towers, the various flights, and the Pentagon.
How pathetic is that?
“1857? Really? And this is somehow relevant to people and problems of 2011?Get a life.”
Are you serious? Everything in American history is relevant to our own time. Aren’t you ever intrigued by events of the past? We understand our own place in the world by investigating and understanding the people and ideas that have come before us. Wow, you must be a very dull person indeed.
Actually most of the posters who criticize Mormonism have a life - a true life in Jesus Christ. Something that Mormons will never know as long as they hold on to the false gospel of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
Is it relevant to people today? Sure it is, to save them from the poison of Brigham Young. A neutral reader of the Mountain Meadows Massacre history cannot help but realize that Brigham Young orchestrated the events and cover-up. Brigham Young was just as responsible for the massacre as John D. Lee and thugs who performed the actual acts. Why would someone trust his or her eternal destiny to the "gospel" espoused by a lying, murderous kidnapper?
Will you say the same some years from now about 9/11/2001?
Dec. 7 1941?
Any other historic date?
Scared to learn from the past?
“And this is somehow relavant to people and problems of 2011?”
Yep. IT IS RELAVANT TO PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS OF 2011! The only difference is that now it’s muzzie zealots who are murdering innocent men, women and children instead of Mormons. No matter how much we would like to believe that the world has changed for the better, it’s obvious that some things never change. Zealots and murderers will always be with us.
So, why don’t you get a life, Buckwheat.
What a maroon.
Huh, so history has no relevance. JTT, you really should change your tag name to: hide my head in a hole.
Yes, Maam; we DO have a life, and we FREELY give up a goodly portion of it just to proclaim the world as MORMONism says it is!
