Baptism for the Dead

[Amicale]

The only mormon temple I have seen in Norway is here in Stavanger.
I have visited them often, but only to steal parking space near work.

Hey, it's a win-win situation. You get a parking spot close to work, and they get to look like they have one more devotee because your car's always parked there!

That's what I thought! But I also did it a little bit to be an ass.

You'd only be an ass if you had a desecrated copy of the book of Mormon clearly displayed on your front dashboard.

Please don't give me that kind of ideas! 

Too late. 

In all seriousness, best skip that idea. You don't exactly want the church of Mormon tagging your license plate and forwarding it to the cops with a hate speech complaint.

Is hate speech a thing in Norway?

Totally. At most, I would go over it with a red pen and my copy of 'Strunk and White'. Then you're just being helpful.

There is such a thing in Norway. But that wouldn't qualify.

My dad says being baptized only makes sense if you're an adult.
Yup, it makes soooo much sense~

Well, objectively speaking, it makes more sense to offer an adult the chance to make a choice for themselves rather than baptising a baby shortly after birth and then claiming them for your religion (which it would apparently damn them to hell to leave, although they never chose it). Does the baptism itself make sense though? Nope, but at least allowing people who are WELL above the age of reason to decide for themselves does.

I agree with this, in spite of how stupid the concept of baptism is.
