Before Romero’s bitter feelings towards the government, it already had death squads and military targeting the reformers (“El Salvadoran”). What made it worse was when they refused to investigate the murder of Romero’s closest friend (“Oscar Romero”). The church was opposed to Romero and his ideas because it went against church teachings. Originally, the Vatican had sent Romero to El Salvador to restore conservative authority because they knew that liberation theology was on the rise, and they wanted to suppress it (Foley 78). The constant jump from political to religious issues created lack of unity, which is what aimed this campaign towards failure.
The beliefs of Brigham Young and the Latter-day Saints had been challenged for thirty years. The Mormons literally ran out of anywhere else to escape and build their sanctuary.

They saw it as going against the law of God making religion the bigger factor of why this person was in jail and why this person might be killed. This can be viewed similar to The Crucible. Religion was a big factor of why so many people were killed. The Salem government didn’t have any real explanation about why the girls were acting the way they were so they turned to religion to explain the unexplainable. They didn’t have any law at the time making it illegal to be a witch so they used religion or the law of God as an excuse to kill all those people.
\Joseph Smith was a Mormon, and the leader of their church at the time. Most did not agree with his ideas of polygamy they even went as far as “nearly shattering the church, his followers brought about Joseph’s death at the hands of a lynch mob”According to MacCormack, Joseph Smith who was the leader of the Mormon church led his followers with the belief of polygamy. Also according to MacCormack most of his followers did not agree with his polygamist views so they went as taking his life from a lynch mob. (MacCormack). “The Mormon polygamists were taken over by a new leader by the name of “Brigham Young, who supported the principle of polygamy, and led the Mormons to the Utah Territory taking polygamy with them” (MacCormack).
Old Man of The Mountain By: Riley During the time of the holy crusades there were an unnoticed group of people, killing from the shadows. These people were assassins.

* “Commodus took little interest in the day-to-day running of government” (www.roman-empire.net) * Commodus spent most of his time entertaining his harem of 300 women and 300 children. * Commodus became suspicious of Perennis, the perfect that was running the country and roman army * The soldiers did not like Perennis either because he brutally crushed a mutiny that occurred in Britain, so they came to Rome and warned Commodus of a plot that Perennis conspired. * Perennis, his wife, his sister and all his sons were killed by his own men on Commodus’s command * Commodus renamed the months after himself * Marcus Aurelius Cleander became a close adviser of Commodus * “Cleander now was placed in the vacant position of praetorian prefect and became not merely Commodus' closest advisor, but began to run government on the emperor's behalf as Perennis had done. As head of the emperor's security, he was given the title pugione ('the Dagger') by Commodus”
As a result of living in areas surrounded by pagan people, Israel’s first generation to be born in the promise land suffered temptations of the combining their own religious practices with idolaters. It corrupted their worship, and they forgot that God is more concerned with their obedience and reflection of Him then He is with offerings. As a result of Israel’s disobedience, the Lord always handed down a judgment in one form or another. However,
I had been raised mostly Southern Baptist and taught a lot of things I have grown to find absolutely disgusting and irrational. I wasn’t allowed to be friends with my best friend when I was 10 because she is biracial. I wasn’t allowed to be in Girl Scouts because of their affiliation with the Catholic Church. Gays would burn in Hell. Any belief system that wasn’t what I was being taught was wrong and it was my responsibility to lead them to the
Prayer in public schools is a controversial topic that has taken top-billing on many of Americans minds. In the article, Banning Prayer in Public Schools Has Led to America’s Demise by Gary Bergel states in the first paragraph, “On June 25, l962, 39 million students were forbidden to do what they and their predecessors had been doing since the founding of our nation – publicly calling upon the name of the Lord at the beginning of each school day.” Bergel is attempting to state that America has decreased in morals since this date as well as forbidding prayer at that time. These are the first two incorrect points of this article. They are by no means the only ones but these will be the two major points of contention addressed. First, the date Bergel uses is in reference to the court case of Engel V. Vitale in New York.
