Many Mormons and Christians serve their country and community.
But that wasn't the point of tapirrider's post, was it?

Very true they all hold their own personal and religious beliefs to be very sacred. I would protects an atheist rights to believe in nothing as much as I would protect a fellows Mormon right to believe in the Book of Mormon same for a Jew, Native American,and Muslim.

That's great. What about the more immediate issue?

Being a Mormon has nothing to do with white supremacy.
It's not being a Mormon, it's the ideas you put forward.
...many scholars have pointed to a sometimes explicitly racist agenda behind the claims of diffusionists who argue that the glories of Native American civilizations were achieved only through borrowing from various Old World groups. http://www.csicop.org/si/show/civilizat ... l_messages

BOMG, you might've missed my post on another thread.
The above is pretty unusual. How did you leave the Air NG and get accepted into the Army NG? Or are you talking about being a contractor?

I personally believe that the Hopewell are the Nephites. As such MY PERSONAL BELIEF is that Nephi brought over his ability to make swords, woven cloth, metal smithing, etc as explained in the Book of Mormon. The Hopewell civilization was extremely advanced they were metal smiths made their own woven clothing, metal weapons, metal tools, metal jewelry, agriculture, fortifications, and fancy clothing. I personally belief the Hopewell got or developed these advancements is explained in the Book of Mormon. So if you think the Book of Mormon is racist because it states that they brought over technology from the Old World that is your own belief. But that is what millions of Mormons Believe the Book of Mormon is a true historical record of an ancient civilization. Some Mormons point to the indigenous civilizations of meso America, some south America, some even Malaysia, I point to North America.
Its not difficult to transfer from the Air National Guard to the Army National Guard. Its more difficult to transfer from the Army to the Air Force though.
So if you think the Book of Mormon is racist because it states that they brought over technology from the Old World that is your own belief.
Well that's an incredibly obvious attempt to change the issue. NO ONE has ever said to you that the bringing over of "technology" is the racist issue.
Here's what you've written that people object to:
David McKane, in DNA Evidence of White Race of Indian, wrote:Caucasian North American Indians
Since traditional Jews are known to be Caucasian or of lighter skin color. It’s not hard to fathom that the Tribe of Manasseh, the tribe Lehi descended from, also would have Caucasian or lighter skin color. Haplogroup X found in North American Indians is considered to be a Caucasian DNA marker....
The Nephites became Lamanites and Lamanites became Nephites suggesting different shades in skin color as the Book of Mormon states.
that's were Haplo Group x comes in its a caucasion dna marker from the Middle East. The Book of Mormon states that people from the middle east intermarried with people who were already living on the country they landed on. That is the main belief both for the Meso american model and the north american model.
