The mainstream LDS church doesn't want to be associated with these Radical Extremist Mormon Terrorists. I'm glad to see them get ahead of things because these assholes started the religious talk before they ever stormed the compound armed to the teeth:

LDS Church: Oregon Militia Takeover Not 'Justified On A Scriptural Basis'

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came out against the militant takeover of a federal building in rural, eastern Oregon in a statement issued Monday.

"Church leaders strongly condemn the armed seizure of the facility and are deeply troubled by the reports that those who have seized the facility suggest that they are doing so based on scriptural principles," the Mormon Church's statement read. "This armed occupation can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis."

Ammon Bundy, son of infamous Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, said in a video published Friday that "the Lord was not pleased with what was happening to the Hammonds," referring to the two Oregon ranchers facing prison time for arson.

Bundy and other armed militants, who are not all from Oregon, have holed up since Saturday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon. They've said they will occupy the space for years, if necessary.

The church's statement urged "peaceful means" to end the conflict.
