When I was reading this article I for a second seriously thought about converting to Mormonism. So that some Mormon will not baptised on my behalf after I die.
Look at all these people who have been baptised as Mormon after their deaths, http://famousdeadmormons.com/

Makes you wonder how soon the great country of north america will feature a member of "witch doctors for Jesus" as commander in chief of it's nuclear arsenal.

Once again, the morons...sorry, mormons, are not as different from other jesus peddlers when it comes to their bullshit.
Quote:Orthodox Christians have the habit of claiming all great men, all men who have held important positions, men of reputation, men of wealth. As soon as the funeral is over clergymen begin to relate imaginary conversations with the deceased, and in a very little while the great man is changed to a Christian -- possibly to a saint.
-- Robert Green Ingersoll, "The Religious Belief of Abraham Lincoln"
Ingersoll died in 1899 so this phenomena has been noted for a while.

That is disgusting.

A few years ago there was outrage from a large number of Jews. It turned out that the Mormons had baptised large numbers of deceased Holocaust victims,among MILLIONS of others.
Their habit of baptising dead people is why the LDS church has the world's largest private genetic data base.( I think computer access is free)
This has also upset a lot of Romney's potential voters. Me? I think it's hilarious.
Quote:Mitt Romney's problem with evangelical Christian voters has been well documented.
But as the Republican presidential nomination fight heats up in Florida, a Mormon rite that leaves many Jews seething could prove awkward for the candidate in a state that's home to more Jewish people than any other besides New York and California.
The religious rite is proxy baptism for the dead. According to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church, these posthumous "blessings" are intended to "save" ancestors and others who weren't baptized in life or were baptized "without proper authority."
A Mormon may propose the baptism of another person posthumously. Church members have performed the ritual on Buddha, Catholic popes, 9/11 hijackers, William Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Elvis Presley, President Obama's mother and even reportedly Jesus Christ. In 2002, the managing director of the Mormon's family and church history department told The New Yorker magazine that as many as 200 million dead people had been baptized as Mormons

Just sounds like more 'communistic - we know what is best for you' bullshit.
Could this be proof that the dead are dead and not living in some after life that only the living are worried about??

Just like how Darwin supposedly repented on his death bed. I'm sure 10 years from now we'll be hearing from Christians how Christopher Hitchens repented on his death bed & found Jesus at the last minute.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
