    In the novel "Under the Banner of Heaven", John Krakauer wrote about two brothers, the Lafferty boys, that are indoctrinated into the Mormon faith. On July 24, 1984 these brothers killed a woman and her infant daughter. The brothers believe that they were ordered to kill by God. Yet the bible, which religious people claim that the bible is the word of god, says "You shall not murder". Either this divine creature is fickle minded or the "roots of their crime lie deep in the history of an American religion practiced by millions…" (Krakauer)
