One thing I appreciate about the Mormons is their belief that you can baptize people after they're dead. That at least nixes the bullshit "We had to save their souls" Inquisition-tier line for genocide from the vocabulary.
Yeah I'm becoming convinced that any time someone believes an after-life is more important than life, it'll logically lead to genocide, and the only thing stopping that is the strength of certain other beliefs like post-death salvation and especially anti-proselytization.
I mean if I thought FOR SURE that your actual life was a blink of an eye and you were absolutely about to get sent to hell for eternity, I'd kill the shit out of you to stop it, and why wouldn't I?
Whatever good was present at the Ossossané ossuary—where those who had not yet encountered the fullness of Truth honored their dead as best they knew how—is increased a thousandfold in the cemeteries of the residential schools, where baptized Christians were given Christian burials. Whatever natural good was present in the piety and community of the pagan past is an infinitesimal fraction of the grace rendered unto those pagans’ descendants who have been received into the Church of Christ. Whatever sacrifices were exacted in pursuit of that grace—the suffocation of a noble pagan culture; an increase in disease and bodily death due to government negligence; even the sundering of natural families—is worth it.

He is appealing to a caricaturization of our beliefs, and that caricature is the trope. He himself does not believe that, he's just saying "okay fine lets pretend they even were noble, the whites were still in the right."
Yes, welcome to the world of evangelism. This is what the belief in eternal, conscious torment for unbelievers will do to an mfer. Which does have a strange internal logic to it... I mean any suffering in this life is inconsequential compared to infinite suffering (if you believe in that sort of thing, I mean).

Oh boy, that did not stop Mormons from killing kids and massacring others. This one is just an example. Would you like to know more?
Hey, they're still settler-colonialists. They'll find an excuse.

Just doing tropes now, aren't they?
