I am curious if you explain in more detail why you think Moroni operated the way he did? I'm particularly interested if you are insinuating that imperialism under the banner of a righteous leader is a good or bad thing according to history.

I think that it's easy for LDS readers to assume that the "good guys" in the books made no mistakes--especially in things they did for good purposes. I think that people from the BoM would far more like to see us learn from their mistakes (especially their well-intentioned ones) than to idolize Jon Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960488857253480586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862548434607769576.post-35471486377731612312014-01-08T14:33:04.626-05:002014-01-08T14:33:04.626-05:00Morgan,

I think sometimes its easy for LDS readers to assume that the good guys in the text made no real mistakes (just the bad guys), but I think that they'd rather have us learn from their mistakes than put them on a pedestal as though they were perfect.<br /><br />~JonJon Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960488857253480586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862548434607769576.post-39222725991177202642013-12-17T14:39:18.616-05:002013-12-17T14:39:18.616-05:00Very nice blog you have.

I'll admit it: the "war chapters" have always confused me with who's in power where and what is going on. This was clear, concise and to the point. Thank you for writing.
