The Romneys Converted Mitt’s Dead Atheist Father-in-Law to Mormonism

Approve. I too have converted my dead Catholic ancestors to my personal brand of worshipless pantheism.

Intolerance and religious bigotry are so ugly.

They led to the deaths of 6,000,000 Jews.

And hundreds of Mormons and possibly slightly more Gentiles in the 19th century... though it's fair to say that without Mountain Meadows, the Mormons' casualties would far exceed their detractors'.

And it's pretty clear the issue of past and possible future persecution is there, somewhere, deep in the Mormon cultural subconsciousness. Can't blame them, of course.

You know what's less normal than religious beliefs? Hint: Go ask Santorum.

Bigotry against Mormons is just as ugly as any other type of bigotry.

No one's forcing Mormons to be Mormon (except other Mormons). Other types of bigotry are worse because you don't choose to be black, or Hispanic, or gay, or Jewish (culturally), or....

You no more choose to be culturally Jewish than you choose to be culturally Mormon. Perfectly comparable really.
