I think I might be obliged to inform she-who-will-be-Wednesday’s-mother that I have inadvertently made her as-yet-unconceived daughter a symbolic representation of the happily immersed theist on this website. I’m not sure if she will be pleased or not.
I have no idea when Wednesday will be born. See “unconceived”. I only know what her name is going to be because my friend picked it out well in advance, along with names for the other two kids she plans to have. Maybe she’ll wind up with all boys and there will never be a Wednesday at all. Perhaps I should post a birth announcement here if and when she shows up for the convenience of anyone who wants to track her down later?
I deleted my original comment upon reflecting that it was, on the whole, slightly too evil for a joke. (It was just “We’ll track down Wednesday and deconvert her” but you shouldn’t really mark the fates of unborn children like that.)
If using Wednesday as an example in the first place doesn’t make my friend annoyed with me, I think that the example making a great big pack of atheists bound and determined to turn up and engage Wednesday in deconverting chats when she gets to be high school age certainly would.
I’ve gone up to and beyond the limit of Wednesday’s mother’s tolerance for discussion on this subject. She will almost certainly stop being my friend if I don’t back off. I highly doubt that she would be any more receptive to anyone else.
Of course. I am trying to say here, generally speaking, that for my own part at least, I should not advise anyone to try and track down Wednesday. People should make their own destinies, not have them made by their parents’ friends posting on forums.
(Using the real name was kinda silly, though.)
Albeit...
I was talking with my mother recently and she mentioned that an old Torah study partner of hers, whom I’ll call X, had stopped believing in Judaism.
Me (delighted): X turned to the Light Side? That is awesome!
Her (sounding taken aback and grim): …no, not really.
So we can safely say that if Wednesday in the ordinary course of her life ever turns to the Light Side, it will be slightly more awesome than usual, and she should totally post about it here if anyone still remembers this forum then.

It’s okay, in 15 years we’ll just mount a quiet, massive effort to deconvert any and all 15-year-old Mormons named “Wednesday”.

Well, yes. But the proper course of action here would be to track down Wednesday’s mother, not Wednesday.

Strategically quoted to make point.
sigh
if there were time and manpower to just deconvert everyone...
Sadly I think there are more pressing projects right now.
