To do such work for Holocaust victims was purely well-intentioned.  Since they do not believe it a valid ordinance, no one thought it would be offensive, but it is of great significance to us.  Even the Founding Fathers of the United States have had this same work done for them.  But out of respect for the offended Jews, and as pointed out in your more balanced article, the names have since been removed from the list, which essentially undoes the work for the dead.

This statement could not be more arrogant and is exactly why nonreligious people can't stand some religious people. So people have to except Christ to go to heaven, but if you don't it will just be forced on your name when you die.

May your corpse be raped and dismembered, sir!

 

That could have been handled better.

What for? There is clearly no respect for the wishes of the dead.

While I don't agree with it (see my previous posts), I do have some understanding how some Mormons would truly be trying to help.  And I believe darth_ender is one of them.  Just as not all religious people are good, not all religious people are bad.  And judging from his posts (granted, a small sample size of his life, but still), I believe that ender is one of those religious people who I would get along with just fine in real life.  Even though we disagree on a great many things (not just religion, mind you), we both show respect for each other's positions.  Just because I disagree doesn't mean I can't sympathize or at least try to understand.

You, on the other hand, are being deliberately insulting, and directly so to someone who has done no such thing to you as far as I can recall.  I'm obviously much more aligned with your positions on religion than on ender's but at least he's not being a jerk.

 Sorry, I may have just negated your last statement.  Thanks for standing up for me.  I really tire of walkingdork, and the only reason I haven't ignored him is so he doesn't freely trash this thread without my responding.
