How To Destroy Your Enemies

Helaman 6:37 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did hunt the band of robbers of Gadianton; and they did preach the word of God among the more wicked part of them, insomuch that this band of robbers was utterly destroyed from among the Lamanites.

This, I think, is a good way to "destroy" one's political, religious, and/or philosophical enemies. Talk it out. Use scriptures and sound logic. Convince evil-doers that what they are doing is evil, and they will naturally want to change. Of course, it'll take some very convincing arguments, but if we're patient enough, and if we choose our words carefully enough, I think we can make progress in that direction.

Some people promote a more direct method of destroying their enemies, but I prefer to talk things out. Fighting turns enemies into corpses. Talking turns enemies into friends.
