Mitt Romney's Mormon church baptized President Obama's mother back in 2008. WTF?

(13,485 posts)1. Re-enacting (practising) being Gods. They take different acting parts and play god.
2. Celestial Marriage.
3. Baptising the dead.
They have the largest collection of genealogical records in the world. They try to baptise everyone in absentia. There was a huge law suit brought by Jews concerning the fact they were secretly baptising Holocaust Jews who died in WWII. They were caught and settled. Then they were caught again doing the same thing. And again they were snitched on for baptising Anne Frank.
You too may be part of the Mormon Church and don't even know it.

(2,737 posts)Religion must keep the "believers" entertained, and buying into whatever weird little rituals they can think up. Some use elaborate costumes, decorations, and relics. Some hire entertainers now - bands, singers etc. They place themselves on a "stage", wearing their vestments of rank and claim to hold the keys to everlasting life. It's been a solid sell now for a few thousand years.
The more complicated, complex and confusing, the better. It keeps people from having to think for themselves and discover who they really are.
Anyway, that's my take on it.
