  1. The Mormon baptizing-the-dead thing needs to be a lot more widely publicized. Not only is it offensive in itself, but anything that drives a deeper wedge between fundies and Mormons is valuable right now.

  2. Infidel -- Yeah, it's tasteless and insensitive to the dead, but I hadn't considered the evangelical/Mormon angle in the upcoming elections. Interesting point.

  3. The Mormons claimed they had stopped baptizing Holocaust victims years ago ...

  5. Should've tased Santorum. I didn't know about Mormons baptizing dead Jews. A little presumptuous maybe?

  6. The Mormons keep apologizing for dead-dunking yet they keep on doing it. Apparently they really don't care how many people they offend so long as they get to keep forcing their religion on others.

  7. Jono -- The Mormon practice of baptizing ancestors and dead people has been around for some time. Whether is it tasteful or sensitive, however ...

    Buffy -- That seems to be the trend with some conservative religious types, sadly.
