Have you ever had that sensation that you really should just shake your head, and ignore a thread, but you just have to respond?

Ladies and Gentlemen of GreekChat, the members of the LDS church (Mormons) baptize EVERYONE whose records they find! Not just those who are Jewish, or Muslim, or Black, or Hispanic - ALL of them. To them, they are simply fulfilling the requirements of their faith - and this has been going on for over a hundred years.

Look at it this way: I'm doing some genealogical research, and find your ancestor, and I decide that, instead of being from America, I go through some ceremony and "recreate" your ancestor as a Tibetan. Does that make your ancestor a Tibetan? No. Does it affect your ancestor at all? No. Assuming that you are secure in your own faith, does it really, truly mean diddly-squat? No.

Yes, it's somewhat irritating - but so are half the posts on GreekChat!
