The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

Let's Put A Stop to This.

The mormon necro-dunking of everyone needs to stop. As an Ex-mormon I find this practice to be the height of arrogant disrespect for all human kind. The more pressure put on those crusty old farts in the desert, the better.

As an atheist, I realize that dead people are no longer with us, and so baptizing them does not actually do anything. This disrespect is actually a service to people who feel religion is decisive. By keeping the dumb religious masses pinned against each other with the realization that at their foundational levels, they can't coexist, it gives rational minds a chance to breath.

I say, keep them divided with stupid stuff like this, this does not involve us. I would rather go after these groups for matters that effect me in real life, and not their imaginary heaven.

Utterly agreed. The utter presumptuousness of the LDS church to take such action upon everyone from Mitt Romney's atheist father-in-law to Mohandas Gandhi (?!?) fer petesake should find ZERO TOLERANCE, regardless if one is a theist or atheist. This brand of behavior suggests to me a perceived superiority on the part of mor(m)ons for their faith and with that the assumed right to convert whomever they please, even after death.

Strikes me time for some civil suits, filed by the estates or descendents of those so victimized, to slap some sense into these dips and maybe teach them to keep their own house in order before they presume on someone else's.

Need I mention - gladly signed.

Signed.

On a humorous note, though, there is this www.alldeadmormonsarenowgay.com

That's funny Sarah. Also on The Colbert Report he circumcised all dead mormons using a hot dog and a thingy you cut the end of cigars off with, and said all dead mormons were now dead jews. Then on the Stephanie Miller radio show she suggested gay-marrying all the dead mormons. Silly, just as what the mormons are doing is ridiculous and silly. I'm embarrassed for them.

Absolutely silly. When I hear about things like this I think "they can't HONESTLY believe such nonsense," but then I remember that the entire religion was founded by a man who claimed to have found magic plates of gold that only he could translate (by putting a 'seer' stone in a hat nonetheless). And that after one dies, they would rule their own planet like gods and have spirit children.
