If Atheists don't believe in it,why be 'de-babtised'?

Catholic Church Says 'De-baptism' Is 'Impossible'

Jeannine Marino, program specialist for evangelization & catechesis at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, told CP that atheists who seek to be "de-baptized" or "un-baptized" cannot technically do so.

Boy, that's going to tick off a lot of dead Jewish people who have been baptized after-the-fact by Romney and the Mormons....

(I can hardly wait for Mitt to have to explain that to the Jewish community during a general election...)

You mean Romney personally took part in that? There's no possible way that there could be differing opinions within a church, right?

Actually, he DID admit to doing some in an interview... I can hardly wait....

Mormon Church's Prior Baptism Of Dead Jews Could Raise Concerns For Florida Voters

When Newsweek magazine asked Romney if he personally had performed posthumous baptisms on anyone, author Jonathan Darman wrote, "he looked slightly startled and answered, 'I have in my life, but I haven't recently.' The awareness of how odd this will sound to many Americans is what makes Romney hesitant to elaborate on the Mormon question."

There was no mention, and it is not known, whether the people that Romney personally baptized were Jewish.

Requests for comment by Romney campaign and the Mormon Church were not answered.

Hmmm...They won't say he did...and they won't say he didn't... I just love the ambiguity there...

You should try reading something besides FauxNews, RedState, NewsMax and all the other blathering idiots....

Then you're right, the doublespeak and tap dancing will be quite a show.

I think Romney was a bishop or something in the church, so if he didn't physically do it, he let it happen under his watch. That said, who the hell cares? Especially if you are an athiest or another religion?
Personally I would just laugh it off if Mormons wanted to baptize my dead body unless they were digging me up.

Why would Jews care? They don't believe in baptism, so baptizing someone already dead shouldn't mean a thing.

Apparently the JEWS care... A LOT!

Jews want Mormons to stop proxy baptisms
Holocaust survivors say Mormon church is violating deal banning practice

NEW YORK — Holocaust survivors said Monday they are through trying to negotiate with the Mormon church over posthumous baptisms of Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps, saying the church has repeatedly violated a 13-year-old agreement barring the practice.

But Ernest Michel, honorary chairman of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors, said that is not enough. At a news conference in New York City on Monday, he said the church also must "implement a mechanism to undo what you have done."

"Baptism of a Jewish Holocaust victim and then merely removing that name from the database is just not acceptable," said Michel, whose parents died at Auschwitz. He spoke on the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-incited riots against Jews.

"We ask you to respect us and our Judaism just as we respect your religion," Michel said in a statement released ahead of the news conference. "We ask you to leave our six million Jews, all victims of the Holocaust, alone, they suffered enough."

It's no skin off my back because I'm neither Jewish nor Christian... So, basically I don't care... But apparently it tics them off...A LOT...

I you want to marginalize it or poo-poo it, why don't you ask the folks who are outraged...

Maybe you can convince them to forget that it's Romney's church that's been doing the thing that outrages them? before the election....

Me, I'm just sitting back laughing....

I don't believe the Mormons just baptize dead people on a whim. I think that later generations, that are Mormon, ask that their ancestors be baptized. So it's actually the family that does the baptizing.

Since it's obvious that what you believe is incorrect, here is an article for you:
