If they showed up at the person's funeral or took other steps to make it clear to the dead person's loved ones that yes, they baptized them in the name of this faith that the deceased wanted nothing to do with, then that would be pretty assholeish. If they're just doing it as part of one of their Mormon ceremonies over in Mormon land, it doesn't really make any difference.

they've been repeatedly asked by relatives of holocaust victims to stop doing it yet they continue despite claiming to have stopped

It's funny because eventually the prophet is gonna have a revelation and say, "All right guys! God says it's all right for you homos to rear end gently caress eachother now! It wasn't before but now it is I guess!"

This is true. You'd be surprised how many Jewish names you hear in the temple. And they all died around 1944 or 45. Hmmm.... :(

Don't forget, the church owns a large percentage of land. This is from 1991 so the land holdings is probably higher than 500000 acres at the moment clicky

Good to see they're using all that money they save from church and corporate tax-breaks! No wonder they're big advocates for state's rights.

Yeah, they had the same revelations towards polygamy and letting blacks in. Of course you still have fundamentalist sects in towns like colorado city full of batshit sexists who trade their daughters with one another. And if you're a boy? You just get left outside a Denny's.

Mormons are filth.

According to a dissertation presented by a one Max Ford McBride for Brigham Young University:

McBride posted:


Aversive conditioning procedures have been successful in treating homosexuality. [...] Eyesenck (1971) specifies that aversion therapy is a behavioral technique principally used for disorders that are "socially undesirable or undesirable in the patient's own long terrm interests, but which he finds reinforcing at least in part." [...] The chief goal of aversion therapy is to reduce the probability of inappropriate response patterns with normal societal adjustment.
[...]

(PAGE 14): The patient was asked in a treatment room to masturbate using homosexual fantasies, as orgasm approached he was presented with heterosexual stimuli. This procedure was minimally effective in reducing inappropriate fantasies until it was combined with electric aversion procedures.

[...]

(PAGE 42): Seventeen male subjects (Ss) were used in the study, 14 completed treatment. [...] All Ss who participated were active or semi active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

who cares though. i think mormons are silly but baptizing random dead people behind closed doors doesn't seem like something anyone needs to get worked up about. do their relatives think mormon baptism actually works or something?

Hi Mormons I realize you are attached to your religion but it contains a major contradiction: you claim Joseph Smith is a prophet, when in fact Muhammad (pbuh) was the final prophet of Allah. I'm sorry to break this to you but it's for the best that you find out sooner rather than later.

reading this thread is funny because you have ethan_allen basically saying "YOU'RE poo poo FUCKERS AND I HATE YOU!!" and then chaoslord going "we're only kind of poo poo fuckers don't hate us" and ethan_allen getting more and more irate and crazy while chaoslord just remains the same level of crazy. it's pretty telling.

Oh and I think one of the guys who worked on New Vegas is a mormon because the Honest Hearts DLC is a lot nicer to Mormons than, well, everything else.

josh sawyer is an atheist with no mormon background but he wrote honest hearts to be a religious conflict thats not about whether religion is true but rather what you should do about it. he picked mormonism cause they were gonna be in van buren cause fallout is all about americana and mormonism is an 'american' religion. honest hearts rules btw

that's your obisdian sperg of the day
