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

[ChadwickHenryWard]

30. It shows a complete lack of respect for other's beliefs and choices.

Take the example of Romney's father-in-law. His daughter and her whole family were Mormons. He had the choice to become Mormon at any time in his life, and he chose not to. Then, after he died, they decided for him that he was actually a Mormon. It shows a complete lack of respect for his wishes. They couldn't control him in life, so now they have attempted to control some small aspect of him in death. And you can't even argue, as with all those Holocaust victims, that maybe they really wanted to be Mormon and were never given the choice. He had the choice, and the chose not to be Mormon. They know that he didn't want to be Mormon, and they decided not to respect his choice.

This goes much deeper than some completely meaningless and stupid water-sprinkling ceremony. This is an attempt to control every aspect of an individual's life, even from beyond the grave, despite known objections. This is an attempt to exclude every contrary religious idea or tradition other than their own. This is an attempt to always have their way, to always control an individual's public and private life, to never allow any kind of objection or dissension or difference. This is the supposition, and action on the belief, that nobody else matters.

And it does matter very much to me that my ancestors remain unmolested by this cult. They are my ancestors as much as anybody else's, so why shouldn't I shouldn't I get equal say in what religion they are? I should be equally able to assert my religious views onto them (which are: they're dead, and can't defend themselves from your machinations, so leave them the hell alone.)
