“Lets say I created a ceremony to make all their ancestors gay. Now, the fact that they dont believe in my ceremony doesnt change the fact that my doing so is disrespectful to their grandparents and the choices he/she made while alive. Its arrogant of me to assume that anyone but myself wants it and that I have any sort of power to do so.”
Excellent point!
Let’s go farther.
Let’s actually create a special Unsealing Ceremony for the Dead.
By Proxy Unsealing, (any dead) Mormon wife can be Unsealed
from her god husband, if she so chooses, for any reason
she chooses. Any living Mormon or non-Mormon can be a proxy
for any dead Mormon wife. It would be a Liberation to
nullify any chance that her previous husband wouldn’t call
her by her special name and resurrect her.
:-)
Teach those arrogant god-husbands! Let’s strip away their
Celestial Polygamy (which the oLDS teaches still).
Let’s also create a Celestial Demotion Ceremony. By participating
in this ceremony, you can be a proxy for any Mormon who has died.
By standing in for them, you will renounce every Temple
Ceremony, Mission Trip, Tithe, Marriage Sealing, etc.
The previous works they thought would earn them a spot above
everyone else - and their “godship of their own planet -
will now be nullified.
Surely, they couldn’t get upset about this, could they?
And perhaps they could then begin to realize how offensive
it is when they purport to convert people who have died
believing in a faith already.
Hey, let’s also make them wear pink underwear in the
afterlife ...
A Humorous, but still apt, parallel to how Mormons attempt to "unCatholicize" deceased Catholics.

Also funny but simultaneously utterly sad and full of Lamentations...Imagine a soul having just departed this world thinking his righteousness has exceeded that of the Pharisees (after all, the Pharisees never took a shot @ godhood)...only to see the blinking mansion hotel-like light, "No Vacancy" over God's throne & no other divine throne available on any star, any planet, any universe.
The lack of Celestial Real Estate signs out front would make the lies of Gen. 3:5 & the false tries of Isaiah 14:12-14 would be instantaneously evident.

Go ahead, it wouldn’t upset me in the least. In fact, why don’t you spend millions building temples to do this in, and be sure to make the ceremony take a significant amount of time. I would actually be quite happy to see you put so much time and effort into such a venture, it would show you really believe in it.
You aren’t just all talk now are you?
Exactly!

And use wine in their communion service ;)
