-Nephites took no women or child as prisoner; Lamanites took many
-Moroni takes very interesting tone w/ Ammoron in his epistle. He reminds him of his wicked and murderous ways and the wrath of God that awaits him, but this time he does not ask for him to stop or change his ways cause he knows that he is dealing w/ someone who is set in his ways.
-Almost terrorist-like negotiations. He tells him that he knows he is not going to stop the killing and the wars and so he will be prepared to meet him, but if he wants some of his men back he is going to have to give a whole lot more in exchange or he will uterly destroy him and his people
-What a prime example this is of those who are raised in darkness and false teachings. What a powerful impact one man or one family can have on generations to come either for good or bad (in this instance--very bad!).
-Maybe the dumbest statement made by anyone in the BoM is when Ammoron states near the end of his response to Moroni that "these things matter not" when referring to heaven, hell, and the existence of God. Obviously they do matter if they have gotten him so riled up enough to debate them.
