You have every right to be offended, it’s one of the freedoms we enjoy, and a lot of people spend their lives looking for ways to be offended.

It would give me a good laugh to find out that I was the subject of a curse, the target of some voodoo ritual, or somehow a family member was the object of a false baptism.

I laugh at it, you are free to get offended.

Neither one matters.

I think it’s offensive. Its satanic in nature to claim to baptize the dead.

Secondly, when a person who has dedicated their entire life to a certain faith, and it was a part of their identity, its extremely offensive for another faith to come in and say they were wrong in life so we will fix that in death.

And third, it’s upsetting to those who are left behind. What if devil worshipers were to do something like that or muslims, would we still give that a pass?

Idolatry matters.

A cult taking people for a deceptive ride by wasting X% of their life-TIME & 10% of their lifetime income matters.

Whether you care or not; whether you are apathetic or not to such lives lived...hey, that's another question.

But so as to not come across harshly on that point, we ALL ignore some groups of people in either spiritual, physical or emotional need. (There's no way we can attend to all the needs)

The key here is that when I do find somebody who's sensitized to some given need -- and are attempting with some (truly) God-given aid to address it -- I don't break in to announce to them that the lives they are focusing in on aren't "worth" it.
