  I had a discussion with two missionaries while I house-sat my brother's house in downtown Aurora, so I assume they were from this particular LDS church. The conversation was pleasant enough until one of them asked me if I was a Christian. I said I was, but I didn't belong to any organization because I feel they are motivated by greedy interests, and that they kill each other. The talkative one asked me to give an example of the latter, so I mentioned the 1994 Rwandan Genocide that left almost a million dead; it was a genocide of mainly Catholics and Protestant Hutus slaughtering Catholic and Protestant Tutsis. They'd never heard of it. I then asked if the LDS Church allows its members to fight and kill in carnal warfare. They said it does. I asked if that meant killing members of *your own religion* (which I emphasized) who happen to be fighting for another country in times of conflict. They tried to change the subject, but I wanted a direct answer, this time making it a personal question: "In the event that the US went to war with a country like Russia, which has LDS members, would you kill members of your own faith who are from the other side?" My jaw hit the floor in horror when they said they would. One showed me something from the BoM, a scripture I cannot now recall. I asked them if that contradicted Jesus' words, at MATTHEW 26:52, that "All who take the sword shall perish with the sword." They replied that it would actually be an act of love for LDS, in a war setting, to send other members to the afterlife, "home," which was their word, for all eternity. When I asked if they could honestly picture Jesus blowing someone's brains out, or his disciples forcing other Christians to dig their own graves before shooting them, they angrily got up and left without saying anything more than "This is ridiculous." I never once raised my voice, I wasn't trying to embarrass them, and I certainly had no ill intentions. I simply asked them questions about a topic that's disturbed me for years.
  
  Never once does the Bible depict Christians killing people, whether they were fellow worshipers or violent enemies. I'm reminded of when Jesus was captured. Peter impulsively maimed one of the mob, but Jesus sternly rebuked him and healed the enemy. It is the very definition of hypocrisy for anyone, regardless of religious affiliations, to claim to be Christian while participating, or even emotionally supporting, warfare. How can one say it's an act of love when the killed person's family are in agonizing grief? "A slave of the Lord must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind toward everyone," says 2 TIMOTHY 2:24. Perhaps the LDS Church, and those Aurora missionaries, need to dwell long and hard on that Bible scripture before teaching that it's acceptable to end another human being's life, particularly another member of their own organization, in carnal slaughter.
