I recently saw this movie called September Dawn, a film based on a true story about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Although the incident remained to be unsolved, the movie portrayed how 120 unarmed men, women, and children were murdered by a group of Mormon settlers at Mountain Meadows in Utah Territory. This terrible act of terrorism happened on September 11, 1857. Same date as the more famous massacre, the day the World Trade Centers went down. It got me thinking, is the date September 11 somehow cursed?

I got curious and dug up more on what else happened on this particular date. I found another massacre this time in Ireland, the September 11, 1649 Massacre of Drogheda under Oliver Cromwell. Another religiously inspired act of violence. It got me questioning again, this time about the hypocrisy of it all. All religious beliefs openly preach peace and love. I haven’t heard even one religious faith that teaches otherwise, yet almost all tragedies and violence and war involves religion. How twisted is that?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Christian and I am proud to be one. But that doesn’t mean I condone and turn a blind eye on those so called Christians in the old days or even now who murders people in the name of God. That’s just crazy and contradictory. And anyone who falls for a leader who preaches God and mass murder at the same time is stupid. As what our pastor always say “Chew up the meat, spit out the bone“. Don’t eat out everything that is handed out to you. Think for yourself.

I know some people might find this subject offensive or may have some different opinions as I have OR can even write it more articulately (sadly this article is just a mess lol I’m a scatter brain when I’m all riled up). By all means comment up.

Here are some Wikipedia links that might be useful on this particular subject:
