Topic: Posthumous Mormon Baptism of Simon Weisenthal's family

I have to admit,  I didn't see that coming.

Don't be cute.  You want to say something, say it.

We are both champions of passive aggression.

Again my point is only the dead can speak for their wishes and well neither can they.

If I every turned troll I'd cause such mayhem.

Again my point is only the dead can speak for their wishes and well neither can they.

And again:  The families of the dead have asked -- politely, repeatedly, pretty please with sugar on top -- that the Mormons please knock off the soul-baptizing thing.  And they've been assured, repeatedly, that their wishes would be respected.  And you don't understand why they're bent; after all, you personally wouldn't be offended, so why should they?

[seaotter]

So you too are asserting that the same Mormons who promised have then reneged? And again I can speak for my dead father?

No, I'm asserting what I (plainly, repeatedly) asserted.  As for your own dead kin, well, you can speak for 'em, or not.  That's your business, I reckon.

Now, if it turns out that you believe that the prayers of random strangers somehow affect the immortal soul of your dead father, and if you ask said strangers to please with sugar on top stop screwing around with your dad's soul, and if said strangers agreed to cease & desist and then turned around and kept on doing it anyway...

...well, I guess I'd say that's rude.  Dishonest, maybe.  Insensitive, for sure.  Un-neighborly, at the very least.
 
But then again maybe you're right.  Doesn't bother you, so therefore it ought not bother them.  Buncha onion-skins, t'heck with 'em.

Surely  if one Mormon promises to stop and another Mormon goes ahead without knowledge of the first Mormon, no harm no fowl? Do you have evidence that it is otherwise. What I'm asking is it seems likely to me that any breaking of a promise (Which again I think isn't the place of the promissory) isn't by the promissory.

Cognitive Dissonance is having a contest to see who can write the best "mormon recantment/unbaptizement" letter for all the mormon prophets; starting with Joseph Smith.

The way to fight silly fire is with more silly fire.


All in all, I really just can't get why people are so worked up over this.  I mean, Jews *already* think mormons are full of shit several times over.  So why would they give a rats ass if some idiot in Utah says some words over a magic pot of water?


To me, this smells more like the "if you aren't pro-Isreal, then you are no better than Hitler" crowd.  A bunch of dumbasses get pissed because they have magical-sky-man penis envy.

It doesn't matter.  I'm in the process of blaspheming the Holy Spirit in proxy for the dead.  And since in my theology, I don't allow you a choice after death, I am going to get dead people tossed out of Heaven and straight to Hell.

Only unforgivable sin isn't unforgivable. If you actually read the chapter it's clear that he is saying that to be good you have to follow to spirit of the law rather than the letter.

INFIDEL!

The headline here is "Mormons do Wacky Things." But with so few Nazis left to hunt down, what remains of the Weisenthal mission?  If nothing else, this is a valid way of getting back into the news and raising funds for their organization.
