Why do you have any more right to your dead parents than they do? It's ok if you perform stuff on your dead parents, but not if some random person does? What sense does that make?



Because they're my parents, and i've followed their stated wishes. I don't remember a clause in their will that said "Please have Mormons retrobaptize me after i'm dead". It's really pretty simple.

It's a central tenet of their belief system to do this.

The only part that is interesting is that they said they would stop doing something they believe is vital, then kept doing it anyway.

It's not even that interesting based on that aspect of the story, because religions do that all the time. It's sorta required to do stuff they promise others they wont in most religions. Adds that authentic feeling of "fighting against the powers of evil" and all that. Secret ceremonies and practices make it easier to keep the members excited and feeling special.

This particular "super-secret, undercover, ninja" practice is fairly benign and boring however. At least they didn't go back on a promise to stop ass raping children like some other sects of Christianity have done.

In short, anyone who cares about this "issue" needs to lead a more interesting life.

I already retrobaptized your dead parents. I hope it doesn't annoy you too much.

Nope, couldn't care less, have fun with that.

Crazy and non Christian





Or... crazy and therefore totally Christian.

Could be either one.
