Violent beliefs
How about blood atonement? Mormonism is hardly pacifict. Indeed, the Book of Mormon exults the virtues of war as much as the Iliad. Whatever it is it isn't a cautionary tale agaisnt warfare. This is reflected in Mormons' prevailing political beliefs. I don't recall any passages in the BofM that brought to mind All Quiet on the Western Front.
