Such a supremely dumb religion. If you’re ever bored, look into its history and be completely dumbfounded by the fact that people believe this shit in 2023.

    Doing necromancy on other people's dead ancestors is a special kind of perverse depravity I haven't really encountered anywhere else. There are a lot of people who believe a lot of really weird shit, but conversion for the dead is such a uniquely bizarrely wrong practice.

      It's just lazy self-satisfied non-charity. You get to spend a few hours doing busy work and tell yourself that you saved more souls than anyone working at a homeless shelter.

      It has nothing to do with the people getting baptized and everything to do with reinforcing dogma on the people doing the baptisms.
