This has gotten them into conflicts with the Jews over the years. Jewish groups are understandably nervious whenever anybody talks about forcible conversion, even if only post-life. Jay

Post #171,611 by drewk 8/30/04 12:42:29 AM Reply	Reminds me of a short story I once read An avowed atheist is visited by the devil one night with a contract for his soul in return for unimaginable riches. The atheist turns down the offer. The devil points out that the atheist doesn't believe in the existence of a soul, so what difference does it make? Atheist said he still doesn't believe in a soul, but figured if someone wanted it that bad he'd just as soon keep it to himself. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

The LDS church is sort of the Scientology of the 19th century. Yeah, back in high school and just after I was sweet on a Mormon girl and her family kind of liked me, so I've read all their stuff. You're closer to reality believing in Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings. At least you can get some "action figures" for those. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
