JAKraig "If The Mormons have a ritual that includes a dead persons name being said who cares? Or perhaps I should say Why would anyone care?"

That statement appears to illuminate the general attitude that mormons have towards the beliefs of others..."We mormons, believing ourselves to be superior to all other faiths, take upon ourselves the right to insult non-mormons by desecrating their dead, and we don't give a damn if others object!

The arrogance in this remark is outstanding.

Yep. As arrogant as the entire concept of dead-dunking. Claiming converts after death, essentially? Is that about it?

I'm sorry for being so dumb. I just don't understand the problem. If you go to your church and hold a mass and say all Mormons are going to Hell, would the Mormons care? I doubt it. Thats is all I'm trying to say. The Mormons believe that ALL people have to be Baptized before anyone can be saved, I know it sounds impossible but to them it is seems possible. They aren't trying to make anybody mad at them they are just trying to do what they consider their duty. They would be perfectly pleased if nobody ever knew what people were Baptized in their Temples. They aren't putting a finger in your eye, or at least not trying to.

"JAKraig "If The Mormons have a ritual that includes a dead persons name being said who cares? Or perhaps I should say Why would anyone care?"

It's the height of hubris and arrogance to make such a statement and for a sect to use such a statement in order to justify the unBiblical rite in an attempt to dismiss those who would object.

"We're not hurting anyone, it's just that we're doing this for your own good, regardless of whether you believe in this or not."

I am of the position that none get to decide if any are harmed except for those who say they are harmed by the practice of this unBiblical ritual. The trick though is either stopping it beforehand or relatives finding out afterwards, isn't it? See, the mormons don't believe in the simple courtesy of confirming with family members of the "beneficiary" of their ritual whether or not it's ok to place their name on the roll.

If they supposedly stopped for the Jews, why won't they stop for Evangelicals, Methodists, Catholics, Protestants, etc. request it?

Christians who stand and object to this unBiblical ritual are chastised with statements such as this...in an attempt to downplay the spiritual and theological significance of a Christian's belief. To make them appear petty. Just another attempt at a "gotcha" by asking something, that for a secularist or mormon appears to be inconsequential when a Christian knows better.

Christians are admonished in the Bible not to entertain PAGAN ideals, concepts or rituals...the unBiblical baptisms in the unBiblical mormon temples are a part of that...just like eating food that has been consecrated to the pedophile moon god allah.
