[irrelig]For this episode, we cover the strange LDS practice of baptizing corpses just in case they change their mind and want to become Mormons in the afterlife. We cover the roots of the practice, why it’s done and what scriptural justification Mormons give for it, and the various controversies surrounding it. Also, we actually brought on a listener named Jessica to share her creepy experiences as a young Mormon dragged into the Temple to be baptized for two or three dead people by proxy.
Plus, more Skunk Dicks than you can shake a skunk at in episode 79.

Well, Jessica, I wouldn’t say better, sort of rushed, no time to savor the moment. It did prove to me that if god was real then he doesn’t mind, because I didn’t die by a bolt of lightning.
BoldHomer, I hope you realize the god was watching you the whole time, probably stroking himself as well.
I think enduring a 3-hour bus ride of singing hymns would be far worse than getting dunked in water.
