Comments on: Baptism Of Holocaust Victims Sparks Anger

Holocaust Survivors Demand Mormons Stop Baptizing Jews Murdered By Nazis

[rushlimpdrug]

In some respects we are all jews in a holocaust.

some are just unfortunate to carry the "cross"
of being a jew.

[idnnsg]

Those mormons are C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

They can "baptize" anyone they want, but it won''t accomplish anything. However, since they''ve been asked to stop doing it, and they said they would stop doing it, it is incredibly disrespectful of the Jewish religion and of the Holocaust survivors and their relatives to continue doing it.

"It is so sad that people who are NOT Latter-day Saints (the correct name for Mormons, by the way)"

It would probably be good to mention the full name of the church is: The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. Your enemies like to say you are not Christian, so it is important to emphasize JESUS CHRIST anytime you talk religion to deflect that attack.

It is so sad that people who are NOT Latter-day Saints (the correct name for Mormons, by the way) think they know so much about the church and feel compelled to repeat all the half-truths and outright lies they know about the church. I have been a Latter-day Saint for 12 years now, and every day I am more sure that I made the right decision in converting from Catholicism.

I understand the outrage felt by the Jewish groups and others when their beloved dead are baptized by proxy. However, I truly believe that if everyone who rails against our sacred -- SACRED -- practices would do as I did, read, study, listen, pray, and be open to the promptings and confirmation of the Holy Ghost, they would come to know that the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are true. When baptisms or other ordinances are performed by proxy for deceased persons, they do NOT force the deceased to change religions against their will. The ordinances are in effect being offered up as a GIFT to the deceased, which they may accept and claim in the spirit world if they so choose. It is rather like a person being offered a copy of a Book of Mormon. He is not being forced to take the book, and he does not automatically become LDS if he does accept the gift. But he can choose to accept it and read it and live by it if he so chooses.

People -- God is LOVE. God has given us FREE WILL. He doesn''t take that away EVER, not in this life and not in the life hereafter.

Why is it moronic?

Was there a Native American Indian Holocaust?

[caldwellptr]

Religious Sacrements from this life for the afterlife ... Babtism, Confirmation, Communion, Marriage, ........

[caldwellptr]

Perhaps the Prop 8 amendment in California should have said that Marriage is between one living man and one living woman ....

I was raised in the Church. At the age of 11 I was molested by a priest and that set me on a course that changed my life. For several years after this happened I thought it was my fault and I grew to hate myself. I felt guilty and dirty. I had no one to confide in and kept this terrible secret locked inside. When I reached my late teens I started to wonder about religion and the existance of a God. So I started to read about all religion. The more research I did, the more I became convinced that it was all just a con game to manipulate the masses. When I got to the Book Of Mormon I was amazed to find that it read like a science fiction novel. It was a collection of some of the most rildicilous stories I had ever seen. After spending much time looking at the concept of religion I bacame an atheist and have lived happily ever after. I do not put the religion of others down nor do I attempt to "convert" others to my ideas. But what I see is groups of people at each others throats over a collection of fairy tales. I have learned to keep my beliefs to myself since there are so many out there who actually think I am in league with the devil. It is my responsibility to live a good and decent life which I try to do. I believe that we all know right from wrong and how silly to believe that you can do wrong, get forgiven, and do more wrong. Learn from your mistakes and resolve not to repeat them.

I have researched a ton on the web about mormons. Better yet, I have a lot of mormon friends, many of whom have left that group in utter disgust and told me what really goes on, not what they want you to think they are about. The most dangerous people on earth are the ones who truly believe they know what is best for everybody else.

[excoachken]

To davidhinkson: Why can''t they respect people who have a different belief system? Why do they pick these fights, instead of just living a decent life and, in that way, selling their "belief product" through example, instead of in-your-face bullying?

[rushlimpdrug]

Was it because of jews that there was a holocaust?

[davidhinkson]

The Mormons are not jew haters or Homosexual haters. They are the most loving group of people I have ever found. I hear many other religions and athiests dissing the Mormons but I have attended years of Mormon meetings and have NEVER heard one word of hatred or even a negative reference about any other group of people. Many of these anti mormon comments are completely false.

[davidhinkson]

The Mormons do a lot of good in this world and baptism for the dead which is actually taught in the bible in 1 Corinthians 15:29 is harmless. I am certain that Jews will go down in history as jews whether or not their names are used by Mormons in a harmless baptism practice.

[davidhinkson]

The mormons aren''t baptizing to make jews mormons, they believe that everyone who lives on the earth must be baptized and that baptism for the dead is a biblical practice as taught in 1 Corinthians 15:29. if they want to do someone the favor of making sure that they are baptized that is fine. It certainly isn''t hurting anyone who is dead and I believe Mormons are good people who do a lot of good in this world.

I have a news flash for you. They ARE doing it to all of our dead, not just the Jews. Have been doing it forever, getting the names from records and gravestones. It''s an obscenity. Just who do they thin they are? I contacted the Mormons asking how I could make sure I wasn''t rebaptized by them after I died and they would not respond. We need laws against that self-righteous disregard for other people''s beliefs. Are you aware they believe they are the only ones permitted by God to baptize? Their stance is that priests and ministers do not have the authority. They deny a whole lot of things about their "religion" but it needs to be thoroughly investigated when it comes to their interfering with normal Christian and other beliefs.

[excoachken]

I never knew that the Mormons were such a hate-filled group. Between this and spending tons of $$$ just to keep same *** couples from enjoying what most of us married heterosexuals find to be a wonderful part of our lives (marriage), they must have a lot of free time to think of ways to "impose" their narrow minds upon others. Here''s my warning: Stay away from my doorstep!!!!

[antoniof123]

Has anyone thought about the fact that these people are dead and don''t really care.

But hey I guess some nut cases want to fight about anything.

[evian_ycnan]

Show a little respect. The victims of the Holocaust do not deserve to be used as political and religious tools.

Religion poisons everything.

And it uses Zyclon-B to do it.

[mediabrat60]

It''s just another form of arrogance of the LDS church.
They believe they are THE true religion and do whatever they want.
They have no right but they have no tact either!

[earache4]

Just something else I%u2019ll have to add to my epitaph:
Here lies earache4
%u201CI told you I was sick%u201D
No solicitors
Post no bills
No vendors
No Mormon baptisms
