I was reading this thing on Slate. It was an excerpt from Christopher Hitchens’ (PBUH) new book ‘God is Not Great’.
Every week, at special ceremonies in Mormon temples, the congregations meet and are given a certain quota of names of the departed to “pray in” to their church. This retrospective baptism of the dead seems harmless enough to me, but the American Jewish Committee became incensed when it was discovered that the Mormons had acquired the records of the Nazi “final solution,” and were industriously baptizing what for once could truly be called a “lost tribe”: the murdered Jews of Europe.
My God, that’s fantastic! I can’t but worship the mind of men that could use their natural logic to create something so tastelessly absurd.
But here’s the thing - I get why the AJC is angry. Soul’s are expensive. The bargain rate on eBay is $600. Those Mormons are stealing six hundred million dollars worth of souls! And that’s the bargain price. What’s a saint’s soul worth? There’s a court case in this.
