You know, it doesn't really make the dead person a Mormon. It just kind of gives them the option. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 13:37 2
- I think they need to do a little PR. from what I know (probably like most people) it sounds unpalatable. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:42
- It's like how an Honorary Degree doesn't make you a doctor, except on TV. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:38
I'm totally stealing this -- nm - ceregon Mar 1, 13:17 1
- point. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 13:19
So if a Mormon tells me he's going to convert me, I should perceive that as a threat? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Mar 1, 13:09 1

- it ... yeah. I just realized I wouldn't want Landbeck to read that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:10
- Somewhat. But so are they! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:09 5
  - not every one is behind this. you can't lump every Mormon together like you can't lump every Catholic/Atheist/etc together. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 13:16 4
    - Of course you can!' -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 13:19
    - totally agreed. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:17
    - true, quite true. I wonder, though, if they should change the phrasing they're using - it might help desensitize things. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:17 1
      - or desensationalize, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:17
Andrew Breitbart was Mormonized today. -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 13:08
