1. Only until posthumously baptized into the church of later day saints.

Just like Anne Frank.

2. That's what will

most likely happen if it hasn't already. There are several locations where LDS folk stand in line waiting to posthumously "convert" Jewish people to LDS without their knowledge. There have been several complaints against this practice and the LDS "lords" have promised to stop doing this, over a decade ago... that lasted a whole week I think it was.

Religions should be deemed "personal preference" and the practices thereof should be relegated to private quarters and not allowed to be discussed in public. And proselytizing should also be outlawed... If you want to believe in something, fine, but you have to keep it to yourself. That could resolve a lot of the crap we're dealing with these days... mention of deities could render a fine, even in our halls of government whether in session or not, separation of church and state should be mandatory and strictly adhered to.

I'm so sick of religions, I had five of them crammed up my ass and down my throat growing up... none of them made any sense to me which made me realize what a racket they are. So now I believe in nothing... I know a few things, I understand a whole lot more and am willing to consider things/concepts that can be shown to have a basis for such consideration... but I'm not going to believe in any of those. But I digress.

I hope that Mr. Nimoy will not suffer the fate of the "saints'" intent to convert anyone they feel they want to be one of them even if they were rejected by a person while alive and conscious.

3. this is why mormon genealogy records are so unreliable.

they will take any link they can find.
sad thing is, they are behind most of the records online, outside of government docs.

5. True.

There are so many things wrong about that group and their BS that they should be deemed a cult and leave it at that... they do fit the description. I live in a part of the country that is dominated by them, I stay here to keep them from having total control by proximity and lack of inhabitants who are not members of that group... it's a portion of the last best places on the planet and I'll be damned if I will let them take total control over it and banish anyone else from enjoying it.

7. my son is at u utah

i hope he can find a girl out there that is not mormon. he says slc is mostly reformed mormons, but where there is a reformed mormon chances are there are family members that have not been "saved" from the church.

i get it. it is a beautiful part of the planet. he loves it for that.

i guess on the plus side i might have a prayer for grandchildren.......

8. it cracks me up that people think that what they do about other people's souls, uninvited and

unwelcome, especially after that person's death, actually has any effect on anything, other than providing us with laughs.

4. Actually, I'll bet a lot of people didn't know Leonard Nimoy was Jewish.

I didn't, until his death.

6. What I wonder is...

why should it matter what someone's "religion" happens to be as long as they don't require others to belong or believe? It's just another label. I didn't know my grandfather was Jewish until his death and that his father was a rabbi... because he married a non-Jewish woman which got him disowned from his family whom I never met until his death. It's so stupid and divisive to hold such beliefs.

So it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that people should be concerned with what anyone's religion might be, especially in a country that was established partly on religious freedom for all religions. I don't believe in religions nor do I recognize them or who might be wrongfully defined by such. A freedom of association thing... which is or was also protected by the once adhered to Constitution.

11. Wm Shatner is Jewish by birth, if not by practice nt

10. Yup. I know a fundy Christian who thinks Spock is hanging around with my brother in heaven right now
