Actually it will be seen as a nasty, hostile act; the symbolism will 
look vicious and spiteful to the People of Faith, however fleetingly 
entertaining to the People of Reason. Even more so my previous jab at 
Mormon proxy baptism--but if anyone wants to make fun of $cientologists, 
they should certainly go for it. Some scams are worse than others.
