re: #140 SH1T My Conscience Says

Prayer is a shared action, pretty much all religions use a form of communication with their god that can be described as prayer, so insult is not likely. However, baptism isn’t as common leaving more room for insult.

No clue what that’s supposed to mean, sorry. Why does how common it is matter in the least?

I don’t really care if it’s done to me, I think it’s all nonsense, but I do think there are people out there who believe very strongly that will find insult in receiving an unwanted rite.

Sure. Which is why the Mormon Church doesn’t condone it.

It’s the belief in the significance of the act that makes it real to some and more than just meaningless hand waving.

I’m sorry, I don’t get that either. Because the Mormons believe that they’re doing a very good thing by doing this, it’s a bad thing?

Some may be quite pleased about it. Good for them. Others may be quite upset, which in my mind, is enough of a reason to not do it in such a blanket manner.

Wait, are you talking about the dead people?
