The Russian Orthodox Church has expressed its outrage at what it claims is a Mormon scheme to buy up the names of dead Russians in order to baptise 'dead souls' in their faith.
In one archive, in the town of Nizhni Novgorod, east of Moscow, the Church of the Latter Day Saints has paid ten US cents for each page of thousands of names of dead people dating mainly from the late eighteenth century to be put on a microfilm.
That's right, I'm going to bitch about it AGAIN (http://www.nochicktrix.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2843). No religion has the right to 'force-baptize' anyone, living or dead. What pisses me off the most is how arrogant these assholes are. "The Mormon Church is angry at what it sees as an obstruction to its religious practices." Obstruction? Obstruct this :finger: . You are taking away a persons' right to their own religion. You think it's no big deal? That's because you have no respect for anyone else.
'Our church aims to create a database permitting people to look for their ancestors. Our ceremony is not rebaptism; it only gives the soul of the deceased person the freedom of choice to accept our belief or to reject it.'
If I didnt want your religion in life, why the hell would I want it in death? And where in the bible does G-d give ghosts second chances? I think this says it best:
'Any [Christian] will tell you that these rituals do not harm the soul of the dead. But it hurts the feelings of the believers who see these rituals with the names of the deceased as equal to the desecration of graves by Satanists.'
Any one who steals the souls of the dead for a body count isn't doing G-d's work in my book. If I ever see my dad's name on their list I'll tear down every fucking church brick by brick.
