This is one of the many many super valid reasons WE become atheists. Father in law of the person that looks like they are going to win the contest in the GOP to be the one to lose to the awesome Black President in the up coming presidential election, was Mormon "baptized"...after his death. Yuck yuck super yucky and fuck-man. Really. Christopher "My Hero" Hitchens always talked in his debates about the "celestial father" that watches over you in life and in death and, this is the worst part atheists,...forever.

I figured to get the original pictures an owner had to hold them, then photoshop it out later.

What they want us to believe is that voodoo like this somehow "protects" us (from what I'm not quite sure) and even "seals" us in a heavenly eternity with the ones we love. I guess it's  quite touching for a grieving person to know that "things get better." The super bad thing about that is there is no proof and it is so highly unlikely that it is childish to think that it is a valid conclusion.

The "ordinances" performed on Mitt's "militant atheist" father inlaw, Edward Davies, include...

"...baptism, confirmation, washings and anointings, ordination into priesthood..."

That's not too bad for a dead atheist.

What can I say about this...IT IS TOTALLY SELFISH. Total 100% shame on the Romney's for doing this to their dead father (in law). The dude was an atheist fer Christ's sake. He didn't want this. You (selfishly) wanted this, not him. And why...

The second part should be socks or underwear..your keys. Tupperware?

When Mitt came a-courting Davies' daughter, Ann, he went all religion and converted the sisters and eventually, the mother (I believe as she was going to die soon.). The "militant atheist" father...no. Davies son, Roderick (where do these white people get these names. sheez) told the Boston Globe in 2007 that Ed thought that the faithful were "weak in the knees." In fact, Ed, even called religion..."hogwash (oh no you didn't Ed, the Hogwash blast...no...you...didn't), so you can imagine the anger he would have felt upon the learning of his conversion...except that he is dead and all that stuff.

If this is not controlling, then I dunno what is. Control is one of the many many reasons we become atheists. Off the top of my head I'll go over weirdo control stories. What about the weirdo family members that insist a baby is baptized. Is it the battle for the nonexistent soul, or the indoctrination into the "club", that is so important to fanatical family members that insist the YOUR baby has a boy fucker priest sprinkle bacteria filled, so called holy water on the poor newborns head (I do recall reading about family members "taking" a newborn to do this without the parents OK.).

This is not the first time Mitt's so called church has done this. What about all those forced memberships for all those holocaust peeps. It was so bad, they were told to stop. I dunno, I'm confused. Should I get mad that Mitt's Team is stealing the souls of deceased people and converting them to Mormonism so they can go to Mormon heaven, or should I just shrug my shoulders and say, "there is no soul." Either way they win.

Look man, I come from a selfish religious family (and they have no idea what I want, because I was never asked) and I fear that this is something that they would do to me. (I told Sue this the other day...) I fear that my religious family that I have not seen in a decade will hijack my dead atheist body and have a religious ceremony in a different city away from my family of friends that I have spent the last two decades with. Why, not for me...for them. That is what they would want. That is what Mitt's family wanted. That is what controlling religion is all about and that is one of the many many reasons people like us become atheists.

I think Sue at Ex Fundamentalist said it best when she said something like...if you do this to me, I'll come back and haunt you (even tho we don't believe in that stuffs).

Awesome

* Talk about control...I'm still Catholic according to the church. There is a process to go thru to leave the church but I have not gone thru it, so technically they still own my soul. Control.

* OK I got my info from Gawker so sue me.
