Changing the Religion of the Dead!

Here's to a fine and caffo day to you! And why not? Today  it is exactly three months till Christmas. Bet you didn't think about that, eh? Well pour yourself a mug of Arabica juice and grab a virtual treat while I tell you about some bizarre happenings out there...

Outraged Jewish leaders complain periodically about Mormons who, in the name of their church, posthumously baptize deceased Jews (even Holocaust victims) -- beneficently, of course, to help them qualify for heaven. Church officials promised to stop, but in 2012 reports still surfaced that not all Mormons got the memo. 

Thus inspired, a "religious" order called the Satanic Temple conducted a July "pink mass" over the Meridian, Miss., grave of the mother of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, Rev. Fred Phelps Jr. -- posthumously "turning" her gay. (Westboro infamously stages small, hate-saturated demonstrations denouncing homosexuals and American tolerance.) Ten days later, Meridian prosecutors charged a Satanic Temple official with misdemeanor desecration of a grave.

Can you really alter the religion of the dead? Can you truly change someone's sexual orientation once they're deceased? Seems rather pointless to me, don't you think? Ah but... if it was possible to do such things and if there would be some effect to it...the possibilities boggle the mind.

See ya, eh!
