Alexander The Great, Nancy Spungen, and Lee Harvey Oswald?

Apparently, what those three have in common is a posthumous conversion to Mormonism.

Apparently, George Carlin and Bettie Page did too.
I just find this very,very strange.

Alex converted to religion that wouldn't exist until how many hundreds of years after his death?
By comparison it makes it make sense about Carlin, though.

They are also three people that have never been in my kitchen.

This is one of the things that really grinds my gears about religion. It's one thing to make up a bunch of stories in an attempt to create metaphors to better understand the human condition and attempt to create harmony in society with common goals and interests. In many ways that is what makes fiction, and science fiction in particular so compelling and provocative. It's an entirely different thing to actually take these made up bits of fiction and accept them as literal truth, and then use them to coerce and condemn others via some absurd and illogical game. Shit like this makes me want to move to Denmark.

You should invite Dozer over and ask him to bring the good stuff. You'll have Alexander the Great cooking you up waffles in no time!

^ I did enough of that in the late 80's-early 90's. More than enough, probably

It is strange. I can sort of see claiming admirable people to make make your brand look good, but Nancy? Who's making this list anyway?

So is Joe Stalin.
I also read a while back that Adolf Hitler get's to go to Mormon Heaven, also.

Religion is dumb, but this is powerful stupid.
As to what they did to Mr. Sagan, that's just insulting the dead.

Every little tiny dot of an island across the South Pacific has fallen before their trickery. And they're all a-tithing away, too. Fucking disgusting, what it is.
As if the Christian missionaries didn't do enough damage.

A friend of mine recently explained this practice to me. Mormons are heavily into genealogy for a reason; they look up their family history and baptize the dead who weren't Mormons so that they can have as much of their family as possible in the afterlife. Perhaps these individuals were related to someone who was doing their lineage.

That being said, I still think religion is fucking stupid.

I re,member when I was a little kid visiting my Grandparents in Germany and getting a Mormon knock on their door, and this was no big city, a little burg in the Bavarian Alps. They're everywhere.

I had two very pink juicy young pretty double braids wearing smiling girls ringing on my door yesterday. Turned out they just wanted to invite me on a lecture on how jesus will stop us destroying the universe. very disappointing.
