It blows my mind that effort is spent on baptising dead people rather than teaching live people not to do the things that get them sent to Hell.

Ah, but we do that too. We have one of the largest, most successful proselyting missionary programs in the world. At any one time we have 60,000-70,000 young missionaries serving 2-year missions that they themselves pay for. The standard curriculum program we use throughout the Church is unsurpassed, we have tens of thousands of Seminaries next to High Schools and hundreds of Institutes of Religion on college campuses. We've translated our Scriptures into nearly every language and twice a year the leaders of the Church guide and teach us "live people not to do the things that get them sent to Hell" through a worldwide 2-day satellite broadcast simultaneously translated into dozens of languages . We make every possible effort to teach the living.
