You really *haven't* been paying attention, have you...

If you believe the teachings of the Mormons, they're given
the option of accepting, or rejecting, the offer. Who do you
think you are, to tell your ancestors that they should be denied
that opportunity, if it exists?

: touching itself, isn't it?

...on the other hand, if the Mormons are wrong, then their ceremony
does nothing, and your ancestors will not be affected either.
Where, exactly, is the problem then?

Are you so insecure in your faith, and that of your ancestors,
that it is threatened by something like this? Sad...
