Why in the world does anybody care what a flaky cult does in its jujube ceremonies?
They can’t “baptize” anybody who’s dead, and in fact Christian churches do not even consider Mormon baptisms of living people to be true baptisms, so what’s the big deal?
I’m actually more worried about Romney’s apparent conviction that he is the fulfillment of some Mormon “prophecy.” We’ve got too many people running around right now who see themselves as the fulfilment of some non-Christian cult’s prophecies, be they Muslims or Mormons.

How would you feel if someone urinated/defecated on your parents (or any beloved ancestor’s grave), then posted it online? It is the same thing.
Mormons act as a proxy, use the persons name and go through or perform these rituals. They literally believe they are acting as saviors to these people.
