13. Let me channel my inner Mormon childhood for a response
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 01:23 AM by minkyboodle
Firstly I personally understand why some would be offended by this LDS practice. I'm just gonna offer the response that some Mormons I know would say. In their minds, baptism does no harm and if they are right about their kooky beliefs... hey bonus the dead relative gets the chance to get into the "best" level of heaven (I'm not making that up). Most can't comprehend why people get upset by the practice. I always thought the object of the baptism had to be a relative of a church member but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't always the case. Anyway its just one facet of that kooky faith (hey I had to sit in church 3 hours every Sunday till I was 14 so I have the right to have some fun). Anyway, most Mormons don't mean harm by this and they really don't get that some might be offended. Like I said I can understand why some would be angry, I just see it as non consequential.
