Is that just the saddest act of desperation to make a religion look bigger?

Yes.

On a side note, i'm making sure my grave is booby-trapped.......

[Kazan]

how ****ing repulsive.. next time those annoying missionaries come around i'm going to give them a piece of my mind

i think we need "Guns, lots of guns"

[kasperl]

meh.

I'm going for cremation anyways, let someone throw the ashes out over the ocean or something.... nice and clean, no rotting mess in the ground, no **** with people knocking the jar over, and no problems trying to spread the ashes in a damp forest (i heard that it all clamps together in white lumps).

[Rictor]

Dude, its Mormons. They're just about the most fundamentalist sect of Christianity in existance today.

Those bastards 'll have my corpse when they pry it from my cold dead...oh wait.

BEST. QUOTE. EVAR.

"It's ridiculous for people to pretend they have the key to heaven," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "And even if they say they want to do somebody a favor ... it's not a symbol of love. It's a symbol of arrogance."

[kasperl]

yeah, Mik. That goes for every bloody religion even thinking about converting people. I mean it. Converting people is bad.

[mikhael]

Oh, I don't know, Kasperl.  You don't really need the qualifier, do you?

[kasperl]

i didn't get that, I am probably missing some alternate meaning of qualifier.

[mikhael]

You could have just stopped at: "yeah, Mik. That goes for every bloody religion..."

Ignore me. I'm having a bitter day.

[Kazan]

converting people TO religion is bad, converting people to a LACK OF religion is good

[an0n]

They baptized Hitler too.

[diamondgeezer]

Well he deserved it, the bastard

[an0n]

It'd be incredibly funny if they did Saddam Hussein too.

Nah. Funny would be if they did the pope

[Rictor]

Nah, the Pope would have his posse all over them in a second. He's a dangerous mofo, the Pope. Most people don't know that, but its true.

[mikhael]

Vatican City is in Rome. Rome is in Italy.

The Mob is Sicilian. Sicily is part of Italy.

Don't mess with the Pope unless you wanna have a little talk with Father Baggadonuts

[Jiggyhound]

id bet theyd be pissed if a terrorist attack took out the pope.

[Blaise Russel]

That's horrible.

I've never really been one for the transcendental in general and Mormons in particular, so on one level I am somewhat unconcerned with this, 'cause I think it's just a silly ritual (the thought that the Mormon Church might even be correct in their beliefs is too worrying to entertain)... but on another, better, level, I can appreciate people's rights to self-determination in all matters, from political matters to the spiritual sphere, and from such a position this is abominable and inexcusable.

I don't care if that was meant in jest or whatever, but that is the worst bit of hipocrisy I have heard for a long ****ing time. Kazan, I expected a bit more brains from you.
