But... like the adage about a tree falling in the forest.

If someone is baptised posthumously by an LDS member with a temple recommend, does that really matter?

Can saying some strangers name in one of their sacred rites REALLY affect that persons eternal soul?

"I claim this land in the name of Queen Isabella", said by Columbus upon going ashore, did NOT turn the 'natives' into Spaniards, either.
