My wife was born and raised Mormon. When I first learned he was Mormon I looked at her and said blood atonement. Her whole face changed and she said, “better for one man to die, than a whole nation to perish”.
So apparently this is a big part of Mormonism and how they rationalized their violent actions back in the day.
Violence and Mormons goes back to Brigham Young and the early days of the cult.
