Elie Wiesel to Romney, Mormons: Don't baptize dead Jews

[California Girl]

I prefer to have black Jesus cast dead white conservatives to the fiery pits of hell.

God? Is that You?

Leave me out of this.

Where's that miracle you promised me? Hmmm?

Yeah, about that, I'd had a few when we had that talk, and I was feeling kinda vulnerable...

i prefer a nice shoeshine from a nappy headed youngster

I'm sure the one you have chained in your basement knows that.

"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."

i've got four.

i find they last longer if i rotate them

A promise is a promise. I demand my miracle - now. Capiche?

I'm sorry Cali, I'm not putting a seed in your belly. I already had an immaculate son and it didn't turn out too well.



Just gimme a nudge when I approach that 'too far' threshold.

Hahaha. Just admit that my comeback was good and let's move on.

i'm sorry.

too much of my self esteem is invested in this for me to admit that.

The Mormon Church has already apologized, and it has jack shit to do with Romney... since he's not the head of the Mormon Church.

Lil bit o' fail going on there.

not really. he's a member of the church and the most public face of the church. it seems it's something he should speak out on.

you may not find the practice offensive, but i can tell you that the thought of anne frank having been baptized by the mormon church is pretty awful, well, at least to me.

If Obama isn't accountable for the things said in Jeremiah Wright's church, which he attended for 20 years, then why is Mitt Romney accountable for what the Mormon church does?

 

[Avatar4321]

So it's the right going after the Mormon issue... right...

I sure hope Wiesel took this up with Harry Reid when Reid was the most public face of the church.

Oh wait, I don't really.



Catholic politicians don't dictate to Rome. Mormon politicians don't dictate to Salt Lake. If they did, then they'd start being as alarming as people like Huckabee and Santorum.

Attaching this to Romney is ridiculous.

But the concept of "baptizing" dead people of other religions is REALLY funny to me.

Well, Romney did have his dead father-in-law rebaptized as a Mormon.

No, Mormon politicians don't dictate to Salt Lake. Salt Lake dictates to Mormon politicians. They just don't do it publically.

While I agree with Eli that the whole idea is insane, I don't think there's doodle-squat anybody can do about it.

Nor, quite frankly, do I think we ought to do anything about it, even though I find the whole idea preposterous and, frankly, quite insulting.

If this country respects santeria and killing a goat in the garage to please the gods, then what the Mormons do to the memories of dead people isn't so bad.

Nobody who is a member of Santaria is running for President.

And actually, I do consider what the Mormons do is worse. Take, for instance, Mitt Romney's father in law. The guy was a scientists and an atheist. He had no use for religious hokum. So really, he'd have never agreed to be baptized as a Mormon when alive.

So why do it when he's dead.

Do Mormons really think God is going to take dead atheists out of the "Outer Darkness" (which is where the bad people go when they did in LDS beliefs.) and let them into the Celestial Heaven (the really good Heaven only the Mormons get into)?

The thought of women murdering unborn children is pretty awful to me. Priorities, I guess.

Not to me. that's between them and their god or goddess.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Morms believe that Christianity isn't complete, that Jesus dying on a cross doesn't give you eternal life. There;s actually quite a lot more to this but not worth the time to type it for the rw's to say it doesn't matter.

Anyway, inside their temples, there is a big bathtub thing, about the size of a hot tub. A group of volunteers stands around it, waiting for names to baptize. The volunteer is actually a proxy for the dead person.

For Jews like Wiesel, knowing that his parents were the subject of this insult, its like antisemitism from beyond their own graves.

I'm atheist. I don't really care what happens to my body once I finish with it. But I also respect the wishes of Jews and anyone else who does not want to be used in such a low manner. Its just another way of saying Judaism doesn't matter to the rest of us.

You rw's are about to turn into pretzels trying to make this okay but if it were a Dem insulting other religions and disrespecting Holocaust survivors in this way, you'd be right out in front condemning them at the top of your screechy lungs. Shame on you for not bothering to educate yourself before you decide this screwy and dangerous cult is just nifty to have in our White House.

Well, in some cases murdering children is a matter between the killer and the law.

I can't blame people for striving to get the law to grant that protection to all children.




It would not be my preference to have a vigorous anti-abortion-advocate as the GOP nominee, but I can't blame people for trying to get protections for all children.
