Honestly after-death involuntary baptisms don’t bother me. I mean I’m dead. If they think that doing that is going to save me then go right ahead. If they’re wrong then it’s no skin off my back. If they’re right... I’m in the game.

Well the regular old Word of God (the Bible) says “once to die and once to judgment” meaning — it's over when it's over —

and no friend or descendant or family member can mitigate your salvation, or the remission of your sins, for you.

It's only going to be you with the Lord Jesus alone,
no wife or husband or anyone there to plead our case with us, on Judgment Day.

This baptizing for the dead idea of the Mormons, of course, obliterates the JudeoChristian concept of “Free will”.

Entirely.

The Mormons take a particularly immature stand with dead people getting baptized as Mormons. They believe that the God who created the Universe could be tricked into taking the word of a long lost descendant that their ancestor deserves salvation. Since they believe that they can become Gods, too, their view of the Jewish God is quite diminutive.

They baptize for the dead under their new Mormon rules (added capriciously to the Bible.)

Oh and if it was 110 years ago, you and I would be on the sighted end of their long rifles. Killing infidels was no problem for the founders of the Mormon faith. Look up the Mormon Wars sometime.
