I don't understand why people get upset.

Daniel Pearl's last words (before he was beheaded and before his body was cut into ten pieces and scattered on camera for the entire world to see):

"My name is Daniel Pearl. I am a Jewish American from Encino, California USA. I come from, uh, on my father's side the family is Zionist. My father's Jewish, my mother's Jewish, I'm Jewish. My family follows Judaism. We've made numerous family visits to Israel. Back in the town of Bnei Brak there is a street named after my great grandfather Chaim Pearl who is one of the founders of the town"

Daniel Pearl died as he lived - a Jew who loved God with all his heart.

The Mormons are clear in saying that his faith was not enough. His love of God was not enough. He was not good enough. And for that matter, God Himself is not good enough. Even though God and the Bible say otherwise, according to Mormons, everyone gets a do-over. Everyone gets to be Mormon, which is so much better than being Christian or Jewish.

I strongly encourage you to seek out and watch the footage of Daniel Pearl being decapitated for his faith in God and then come back and explain again how it doesn't make a difference and how it doesn't matter.

Come back and explain how one can refuse to deny God, knowing that means leaving your wife a young widow and your child fatherless. Explain how a man can willingly pay the ultimate price for his faith, and then be told that it wasn't good enough.

I don't have to see it. An act of true barbarism committed by Muslims has absolutely no bearing on the ceremony performed on already dead people where the bodies are not even touched - just prayed about. The two acts are totally incomparable.

Once again, if you don't believe Mormons praying over one's soul has any legitimacy, why let it bother you? If a group wants to pray that my soul turns into a chocolate nougat, what the hell should I care once I'm already dead? If it's a lie, it has no effect between God and I anyway. Period. To let it upset you just shows how shallow your faith is.

God knows the truth (or He isn't God) and He is not fooled.
