Normally the religion topic is one I don't find that interesting, except of course when one wishes to impose his superstitions on me, then I become a little more than interested.
Then I become confrontational. Are you hearing me "Retro" Rick Santorum?
I suppose the descendants of Simon Wiesenthal feel the same way. After they had to confront the Mormon Church regarding the posthumous baptism of Mr. Wiesenthal's deceased and very Jewish parents.
So, not only do the living have to bear the harangue of proselytizers, they also hound the dead at their graveside. No rest for the weary, right? I mean really, fighting over dead people? The Mormons believe that they can offer baptism to the dead, and that the departed souls can choose to either accept or deny the invitation. Ties right in with a angel bringing Joe Smith "special" glasses so he could read a ancient tablet he dug up in a field in America. Which oddly enough cannot be found, Joe must have hidden it pretty well, along with his "special" glasses. Really, an ancient tablet found in an area where the indigenous had no written language? Let's say it all together now: "SCAM"
Of course all of the other churches are up in arms over the pilfering of their departed souls; having proven to be irrelevant to the vast majority of the living, and have beseeched the Mormons to cease and desist from the appropriation of any further deceased, famous or not. I guess the rules have changed, now when they keep score, it appears that the team with the most dead people wins, right?
