Elie Wiesel calls out Mitt Romney on dead Jew baptisms.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm highly annoyed.
I'm going up the street for a Cadbury Creme Egg, dammit.

[Sheilbh]

What's up Sheilbh loving all homophobes like Mormons, or Rick Perry? Surely there'snot enough self-loathing even in being raised a catholic.

I don't like Rick Perry at all.

Plus Mormons are generally nice people, regardless of their views on the gay, and theologically because they don't believe in damnation there's still homos in heaven.  Which is nice.

Plus I think hate's kind of exhausting.

Marti's antics are turning you straight, aren't they ?

Yeah, well, I don't care if they believe in damnation or not as this is all fairytales. However, gays raised Mormon have much higher suicide attempt rates and the LDS church was the major sponsor of Prop 8 - and this is what I care about since it is not some bullshit but actual people being hurt by these idiots.

[Sheilbh]

Higher than what though? 

Mental health's an issue that needs addressing among gays more generally because the attempted and successful suicide rates are higher across the board (I think there's been a reluctance in part because it's more difficult when you're at the 'pride' stage as opposed to being comfortably bedded in society).  But I'd be interested to see what it is particularly about Mormonism that causes this as opposed to, say, someone raised conservative Catholic or Muslim.  I suppose many Mormon communities are in areas without many big cities to escape to, which is another factor.

On Prop 8 that doesn't bother me at all.  I'd be surprised if they didn't.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm all for suicide prevention for fags.  Cuts down on the internet drama.

Then again, so does successful suicide.  So I'm torn.

On the Thursday show, Stephen Colbert circumcised all dead Mormons by proxy (an intern holding a hot dog) and converted them to Judaism.

That's not how circumcision is supposed to be performed.

Nonsense. We've all seen Mel Brooks in Robin Hood.

Thing is, the Mormons won't be happy.  It is a basic, fundamental premise that every person who ever lived has to be baptized into the Mormon faith.  Period.

Link?

It was in the Frontline piece I linked, but here:

They've knocked out about 2 million of their register of 11 million dead, and are working hard to get all 9 billion recorded deaths in history.

Enjoy your white robe and slippers, Neil.

I don't think they're going to make it.

[CountDeMoney]

Not this month, no.

[garbon]

By the way, I'm surprised Marti didn't bring up the gay activism with regards to claiming dead mormons as homosexuals.

[Berkut]

I liked the bit where someone found out that Eli Wiesel is on the list to be converted, as soon as he dies anyway. LOL.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm rather annoyed they have my maternal grandfather's family tree from Germany back to 1710 in their little white slipper index.

Not only has this pissed me off, but it's pissed off my mother as well.
And, they only have half his siblings in the listings.  Fuckers.

Seedy, I've already sent your name in. Twice. Enjoy the Celestial Kingdom!
