What makes the Mormons "baptizing" dead people worse than baptizing babies?

4. Someone spoke FOR you. Like it or not, the parents who kept you

diapered, powdered, warm, fed and safe spoke for you, because that's how our society works. We don't expect children who cannot speak to make decisions for themselves.

The Jews whose names were "baptized" had no one to speak for them and say "Cut this shit out." It's not too much of a stretch to figure that people who lived and died as Jews were pretty secure in their choice of a religion, and didn't want to become Mormons--after all, that choice was available to them when they were alive, and they didn't choose it.

I like the way Stephen Colbert made all the dead Mormons "baptized" Jews--by snipping a hotdog with a cigar cutter! They roundly deserve to be mocked.
