Moroni was a passionate man. Elder Vaughn J. Featherstone stated, “In a letter to Ammoron…we catch more of the spirit of this great man. As President Lee would have said, he wasn’t a shrinking violet. There was no misunderstanding his message. It wasn’t watered down or diluted. ” (Ensign, Nov. 1975, p. 7) He was so angry with Ammoron that he started his letter with a verbal whipping, calling him among other things, “a child of hell.” But Moroni is unwilling to make a deal with the devil or his children unless it is to his sole advantage. Accordingly, he makes Ammoron a lopsided offer.
