� Read a contemporary historian's account of the Mountain Meadows massacre in Dunn's
Massacres of the Mountains, � Guilt is a matter of
what the accused allegedly did or didn't do, not a matter of who he was � be he Michael Vick, O J Simpson, Robert Blake, David Koresh, or somebody else whose name hasn't even made the evening news.
� "Christian" zealots have been massacring "heretical" Christians for centuries � some early Roman Catholics
officially slaughtered non-Catholic Christians by the tens of thousands � Lutherans drowned Anabaptists �
etc.
� The one legitimate template for truly Christian belief and behavior is Jesus, not any of the many who have tattooed His name on their foreheads or embroidered His name on their shirts.
� None of the above makes anyone guilty of what others did generations or even centuries ago. I'm not guilty of anything that my former neighbors' forefathers did to other neighbors' forefathers a couple of centuries ago.
Sift the facts � don't blend 'em.
