There's A Rationale For This

From Wizbang

Jay Tea is apparently upset that Mormons have a practice of baptising the dead, regardless of their religion. So, evidently some Jews have thus been baptized.

I hate to get psycho-babbly, but the only way getting upset over this makes sense is if you are not in some comfort zone as regards your own belief system, or lack thereof.

If you are, then this is little more than expressing outrage because you heard the crazy guy down the street said a bad thing about you to his family in his living room.

You have to buy into the Mormon religion to give the practice any weight - and if that's true, I assume you'd be baptising the dead, too. This is about as rant-worthy as the ten most annoying coffee table books of all time. Unless, as I said, the individuals getting upset have a little more processing to do as regards where they stand with their own belief system, or lack thereof.
