    One thing I appreciate about the Mormons is their belief that you can baptize people after they're dead. That at least nixes the bullshit "We had to save their souls" Inquisition-tier line for genocide from the vocabulary.

        Hey, they're still settler-colonialists. They'll find an excuse.

      Yeah I'm becoming convinced that any time someone believes an after-life is more important than life, it'll logically lead to genocide, and the only thing stopping that is the strength of certain other beliefs like post-death salvation and especially anti-proselytization.

      I mean if I thought FOR SURE that your actual life was a blink of an eye and you were absolutely about to get sent to hell for eternity, I'd kill the shit out of you to stop it, and why wouldn't I?
