The Banner of Heaven. I have no disrespect for Jon especially the books "Into the wild" and also "Into thin Air" they were great books. But with " Banner of Heaven" I feel he is cutting up Mormon religion. Especially about the part of polagamy which was done many years ago, when this act was acceptable. Also he tries to say the murders were done in the spirit of the lord. I am sorry but this is not possible. Since these people did a evil act they must have had the devil inside them, because god does not possess people to kill, neither does the mormon religion. Nobody is perfect and everyone has fallen from time to time except Jesus Christ. I feel to pick on any religion or publish anything derogatory is not performance, to me that is hate literature.
