And it will affect them exactly as much as their post-death "baptism" will affect Helen Keller.

Can't we find something that actually matters to get butthurt over?

You see? Homosexuality is a choice. Either you choose to be one yourself, or someone else can choose it for you.

Joseph Smith, you have now been converted. Fabulously.

I got no problem with them. They helped me with a lot of genealogy research.

This won't work guys. The magic underwear will save them.

I have made it my duty to introduce (posthumously) a dead Mormon to the pleasures of brown love

Don't Troll Me Bro!: How about we don't stoop to that level. That's just petty.

To what gain? All is fair in love and war (and politics).

I'm not sure that this is helping anything.

I know it's a meaningless internet "no u" with precious little value of any kind, but you could have at least put 10 minutes of effort into the design of the page. It looks like it was created by My Nerdy Nephew Web Design, circa 1997.

fireclown: I'm not sure that this is helping anything.

What does it hurt? It's an internet joke.

Ronald Evans and Joseph Smith (founder of mormonism), thou hast been converted to faries.

Serious question: If you don't believe it is real thing, why do you care? If you do believe it is real... doesn't that make them right?

Claim all my ancestors are gay, mormon egyptians with red hear... who gives a rat's ass?

Prance in a circle in your living room and claim the entire world is where god's gas meets the devil's lighter for all I care. If it makes you happy, do it.

"oh yea? well YOUR ancestor is a stupid poo poo head"
"is not!"
"is too times infinity forever"

I don't see why people who are not Mormons care. Since I don't believe their stupid religion, why should I believe their baptisms have any effect on anything?

I mean, yeah, it affects my opinion of Mormons, but it's not like that had a long way down to fall.

If I make up my own religion where anyone I look at is autoconverted (according to the tenets of CatfoodSporkism) that doesn't mean they will REALLY be stuck all eternity in CatfoodSporkism-Hell.

I just entered the name of a dead Mormon friend.

He would kill me if he were still here.

Yeah, like fabulous afterlife gay Mormon sex. Lots of butthurt there.

This is great. A branch of my family is Mormon, and a few years back they sent a copy of their bible to everyone in the family, as well as a notice that they would baptize all of us upon our death unless we opted out. The rage that erupted made family reunions a bit awkward.

Damn cultists.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: How about we don't stoop to that level. That's just petty.

My Grandma was converted to Mormon when she was a little girl (by her step father). When she grew up, she quit Mormonism. She was expelled from the church and her name struck from their big book o' baptized. However, her Mormon relatives saw fit to include her offspring (i.e. us) into their book. I don't subscribe to their brand of weirdness, so I'm not losing sleep over it.

I think that getting your panties in a wad over this is comparable to throwing a fit over a "witch" casting spells on you when you don't believe in magic. It's not something that a logical person should be concerned about.

This is stupid.

fireclown: I'm not sure that this is helping anything.

On the one hand, it certainly doesn't improve civility in our public discourse. On the other hand, it will help both publicize and point out the absurdity of the Mormons' practice. Most people don't know about it and many would, I think, be offended to hear that their relative got posthumously baptized in a religion they didn't believe in. (Many Jews are pretty pissed, that's for sure.)

The My Little Pony Killer: I would *hate* for Mormons to think that my grandparents were suddenly a part of their stupid religion. I don't have to believe in their idiocy to find it extremely disrespectful and distasteful of them to lay a claim on my deceased family members like that.

That's not how Mormons believe it works. The baptizing only presents the dead spirit with a choice of accepting Jesus and everything. They don't believe the baptizing automatically makes the baptized a Mormon.

I was going to say something about sinking to the level of an opponent and returning insults in kind being childish and unproductive, but then I remembered I'm on the internet.

Solution: convert to atheism. Then you can just facepalm a bit at silly religious people doing silly religious things as usual, and not even bother calling them on it unless it actually affects someone.

Don't Troll Me Bro!: How about we don't stoop to that level. That's just petty.

Yeh, we can do better. We can revise the meaning of a certain word to be mormon. I think we all know what that word will be all mormons are now fa*the letter that comes after f and before h goes here*s.

Well, it is stupid and meaningless, but Goddamn I laughed like hell.

FlashHarry: ohhhhhhh. that's farking awesome.

You mean "fabulous"

This is incredibly stupid.

Also, hilarious.

Oooh, the slash fic that comes out of this should be fun.

Interesting. For this to really work for me though, I need to convert some dead people I knew to Mormonism, then I need to convert them to homosexuality. Actually, thinking this all the way through, I need to convert some of them to dead first.

Can I just get a one-stop website where I can kill people, convert myself to Mormonism, convert the dead people to Mormonism, and then make them gay? I really thinking streamlining this process could be a real boon to a business minded go-getter out there.

I can't wait to have a conversation with other Mormons as to why I myself felt the need to convert Mormonism: "Well, you see, I needed to be able to kill people so that I could convert them to Mormons after death, thereby allowing me to make them gay after that. Aside from the murdering, I needed Mormonism to provide me the tools to get everyone converted properly."

How is this any different from calling someone a f--got?

The implication from this is is that being gay is something terrible, a stigma which people have been working very hard to fight for the last 50 years or so (openly, at any rate...)
