Agreed. Call me sentimental and silly, but I actually think it’s a nice-hearted gesture for the LDS to try to “baptize” me after I die. I don’t think it has any effect, of course, but it’s kind of them to make the gesture. And whom is it harming, anyway? If someone says “May Krishna bless you”, I don’t get myself into a knot; I appreciate the thought behind it, even if I think it’s mistaken. Same token, here.

I disagree with the tokens. "May Krishna bless you" is TOTALLY different than baptism. The baptism speaks of an enormous arrogance and tells the world that THEIR faith is superior to others. The "May Krishna bless you" doesn't go that far. One token is kind, the other is an insult.
You said "call me sentimental and silly," so...YOU ARE SILLY. :o)

If it is so sweet, then why are they promising to leave Jews alone?
