The weird new site everyone's talking about
Seen this one yet?
In response to recent debates over Mormons baptizing people into their faith post-mortem, a new web site popped up giving people the ability to “convert dead Mormons.”
It’s called All Dead Mormons Are Now Gay, and it lets you either enter the name of a deceased Mormon person or “choose a Mormon” and press a button to “convert” them. A disclaimer at the bottom of the site says that “Holocaust victims are not eligible for conversion.” Some historical background on that from the Advocate:
The denomination, formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has long been known to perform what it calls “proxy baptisms” of non-Mormons after death, but it has come under particular criticism recently when it was revealed it had posthumously baptized Rosa Wiesenthal, a Jewish victim of the Holocaust and mother of famed Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal, and her husband, Asher Wiesenthal, who was killed in action in World War I. Proxy baptisms of people who died in the Holocaust are against LDS policy, but a church member nonetheless performed the procedure for the Wiesenthals. LDS officials have apologized and disciplined the member.
Is this in bad taste or is this in bad taste?

Baptizing in the name of the dead person is just as offensive. You’re presuming they would have used their agency to do such a thing.

They do it for the best of reaons, but would be angry if another church did it to Mormons.

Doesnt make us any better to make fun of or simulating “forced” conversion than it does for them to “force” compliance from us. Bad taste…

That’s just wrong. I mean come on, if their wanting to be a part of it, why deny them?

elibird answered:
Better question: which conversion is in poorer taste; one is a joke in response to one which is not.

What makes me laugh is that the only information people have is that an Anne frank was baptised. Theres been like a million of those.

It’s an extremely mild version of bashing back, so it hardly seems fair to judge it with the same taste criteria that we would otherwise.

It’s completely in bad taste, but that doesn’t make it any less satisfying to hit the convert button over and over.
