re: #11 Cinnabar

I’ve been watching this controversy for years, and maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t for the life of me see why I — or anyone — should care what Mormons do in the privacy of their own temple. (As long as they’re not sacrificing children or something, obvously.) Do they think this “baptism” (the church I was raised in only baptised the living) has some effect on the soul of the deceased?

Could someone please enlighten me?

Simple: it’s about respect. Mormons says they’re all about respect, yet in actuality the only ones Mormons seem to respect are other Mormons. They don’t respect Jews; why would they keep telling Jews (and other non-Mormons) that the only way into heaven is to apostatize from their beliefs and become Mormon? (11th Article of Faith).

Mormons say they are honest in their dealings with all others, yet they continue to necro-baptize Jewish Holocaust victims and others as Mormons after promising not to do so (with regards to Jewish Holocaust victims) and lying about doing so (13th Article of Faith). They then yell “PERSECUTION!” because they’re caught lying when they agreed, in writing, to stop this practice (with regards to Jewish Holocaust victims).

One more thing: how about the 650,000 Jewish Holocaust victims whose names are still on the Mormon books?
