In reply to the discussion: What makes the Mormons "baptizing" dead people worse than baptizing babies? [View all]Igel

People keep saying the corpse didn't give its permission. The corpse isn't involved, even if there is one. Somebody is being dunked in some ritual that the deceased would have found pointless in the name of the deceased and the only "participation" of the "corpse" or deceased is that his name was used. Assuming they got the name right.
It's a reaction to perceived oppression, an overreaction of people sensitized to such things. It's not just Jews--it's everybody else that's not Mormon. The Mormons should just not tell anybody--except that they alter their records, records that are publicly accessible.
Easy solution to that. Just don't use their records.
