Activists posthumously gay marry dead Mormons
For the past several days a coalition of inter-denominational straight and gay activists has secretly performed gay marriages and religious conversions between deceased Mormons in states where gay marriages are legal.
The movement is in reaction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practice of baptizing the dead of different religions without the consent of their surviving family members. Many Holocaust victims, former football star Pat Tillman and President Barack Obama’s late mother are among those who’ve been baptized posthumously by the church.
“The Mormon Church said it would stop this practice years ago and yet it keeps on happening. They simply don’t care how offensive this. They’re saying someone else’s religion doesn’t matter,” said a coalition leader who asked to be identified only as Rabbi Feinberg. “They’re taking away my people’s Jewishness so we’re doing the same to them. Last night we gave bar mitzvahs to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and John Taylor. Then we gay married the three of them together, since they all believed in polygamy. Now, in the eyes of the Lord they’re three dead gay Jews.”

Heck, I've been unbaptizing Mormons who are baptising the dead for years. No planet for them, I tell you. If the deity actually exists, they'll all have some 'splainin' to do, I think.
"What's this nonsense, dude? This is messed up. Who told you to do this stuff? Now, the database is all screwed up, and we've had to divert a bunch of COBOL programmer angels to try to get it straightened up again. I'm afraid you'll have to take the down escalator. Pity..."
Karma bites the moron church right in the ass.
I hope they keep this up long enough to stop this dumbass practice.
I am so tired of hearing that line-
Respect other peoples religous beliefs?
What does that really mean anyway? Don't chuckle because they are 56 years old and still believe the mythical tales they were taught as a child? Respect their design choices?
