I'm tired of being made fun of for being part of the Church of Latter Day Saints just because some idiots watched a south park episode about it and think that they know everything about the church and its tradition. So I will introduce you to some important words in church history that many who get their enjoyment out of HARASSING innocent members of the Church of Latter Day Saints should keep in mind

>Joseph Smith said that if he ever had the opportunity to enact a death penalty law, he "was opposed to hanging" the convict; rather, he would "shoot him, or cut off his head, spill his blood on the ground, and let the smoke thereof ascend up to God."
>Young appeared to advocate the passage of a law that required decapitation for whites who were "condemned by the Law" for miscegenation with black people (Young 1852).[55] He told the legislature that miscegenation was a grave sin that would bring a curse upon a man and all of his children that were produced as a result of the union (Young 1852). He said that if a white Mormon "in an unguarded moment should commit such a transgression", decapitation "would do a great deal towards atoning for the sin...it would do them good that they might be saved with their Bre[theren]"
>Arguing for a purer theocracy, he stated that it is the right of the church "to kill a sinner to save him, when he commits those crimes that can only be atoned for by shedding his blood.... We would not kill a man, of course, unless we killed him to save him." (Grant 1854, p. 2)
>On December 31, 1855, Pratt pressed the Utah Territory legislature to "[m]ake death the penalty for fornication and adultery."


>In 1866, Thomas Coleman (or Colburn), a former slave who was in good standing as a member of the LDS Church, was murdered. As the Mormon historian D. Michael Quinn has documented, Coleman was apparently secretly courting a white Mormon woman, contrary to both territorial law and contemporaneous Mormon teachings regarding people of African descent.
>Not all of Coleman's wounds correlated with the temple ritual, however, since he was also castrated. A pre-penciled placard which read "NOTICE TO ALL NIGGERS - TAKE WARNING - LEAVE WHITE WOMEN ALONE" was then pinned to his corpse.
