Converting Dead Mormons into Homosexuals

As you know, Mormons have a practice of converting dead people from other religions into Mormons through a practice known as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posthumous_baptism">posthumous baptism. Ordinarily, this might just seem a silly act of disrespect towards the individual's personal beliefs and convictions.

However, the Mormons have made an overt effort to posthumously baptize Jewish Holocaust victims. That is not merely silly and disrespectful, that is superfluously offensive. An agreement between Jews and Mormons limited the practice thirteen years ago. But the http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/11/11/baptizing.dead.jews.ap/index.html">Mormons returned to the practice recently.

Well, then of course, many of us rightly took offense for the heavy Mormon influence during the Prop 8 vote in California. Well, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I am converting dead Mormons into homosexuals.

My first Conversion is Joseph Smith.

    Dear God of the Homos,

    With your great and everlasting love that blessed the covenants of Achilles and Petroclus, Gilgamesh and Enkidu, and of Jonathon and David, bless then the soul of Joseph Smith of Sharon, Vermont with your divine penis. Let it pierce the anus of his soul, and let you be forever joined to him, since on this oppressive earth, he was denied the pleasure of the male sex.

    Forever and ever, our brother Joseph Smith has now joined our family (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thefullmonty/wearefamily.htm">We Sing the Hymn to Praise God of the Homos!).

    Blessed be God of the Homos,

    Amen

- Okay now, this has gone way too far.

Now how am I supposed to get this mental picture of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young - both in nothing but chaps - out of my head?????

to the Mormon "church."

9. The only thing left is....
...a place to store the scroll of names.

- I'm thinkin' SanFran has the lead at this point....

Or maybe there's property available across the street from the Temple in Salt Lake City???

13. I think the Holy Scroll of Names should be stored in a Salt Lake proctologist's office.

4. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I think that sort of posthumous conversion might make those arrogant SOBs rethink their practice of disrespecting people after death.

Beautifully put!

41. I'm sure there are others with non-Mormon ancestors who were proxied
that would like to be able to say the same thing -- but that doesn't happen without lawsuits.

He's a prominent Mormon -- he should be considered fair game.

Well, since everybody gets to choose how to spend their own time, I guess its a judgment call.

But I have to ask... is there a separate invocation for converting deceased Mormon women into lesbians?

28. I'm sure....
...like all new religions, they hadn't thought of everything before launch.

- But I'm sure we can work Sappho and few others into the holy writ before too long, and it'll be just fine....

...but since it begins with 'Oh Goddess of the Rugmunchers, She Who Bleeds Flannel', I think I might be off on the wrong track...

And thanks to their abhorrence for birth control, the list could be endless.

37. The Mor(m)ons already have something similar
It's called the "Ordinance of Adoption," in which men are "sealed" to one another through all eternity. "Sealed?" Is that like when a pair of dogs humping in the front yard over by the azaleas get "knotted" and Granny has to get after 'em with the garden hose? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I think I'll pass this idea on to some of our gay listeners and see what we can come up with in the way of a ritual. I'll see if we can get some participation on tonight's show.

...but its same principle!



But hey now, that would be great to get this ball rolling. Maybe we could eventually even get KO to do a spot on his show to take the place of the election comments void.
