Has Ank gone off the deep end?

Mormons are allowed to baptize their relatives after death. The controversy comes from when they baptize someone completely unrelated to them.

It is a proxy baptism and the deceased has the choice to accept or reject it.

Allowed by whom?

The church high command

How does the deceased accept or reject it.

[CountDeMoney]

Unfortunately, it appears the only way to really get the Mormons to stop retroactively baptizing people would be to start killing their Fruity Pebble asses first. 

Then maybe if they're too busy scraping their fucked up footie pajamas off the walls, they'll be too busy to bother fucking with others.

So the mormons allow the mormons to do what they want to do. Nice.

So long as they don't dig anyone up to do it, I don't really see the harm.

[Caliga]

Jews, for example, really aren't fond of the practice.  When someone discovered records that Anne Frank had been posthumously baptized by the Mormons it caused a bit of a stir.

I was more concerned with the Ann Frank slash fiction, but what'cha gonna do?

[Grinning_Colossus]

Anne Frank/Joseph Smith


Well, I suppose it'd be more like Anne Frank/Joseph Smith/Miep/Bep.

[Eddie Teach]

Not as good as Anne Frank/Frau Kat. 

[Tonitrus]

Or for Marti: Joseph Smith/Brigham Young

Jewish Holocaust victims are dead precisely because they were Jewish. 
To retroactively baptize them for the purpose of accepting Christ as their savior in the afterlife in order to fulfill some fruity Christian cult's End of Times masturbatory fantasy is to blithely dismiss both how they died, and why. 
It is Holocaust denial and antisemitism, and it is a wholly offensive and obscene practice.  So don't be so fucking dense, Raz.

For the Nazis the religious element was not important to why they killed Jews.  They saw them as a different race.  Changing their religion would not save them.  Some Dingus in Utah doing a ritual doesn't change why they died, or how.

It matters to Jews.

That very well may be, but it's a long shot from "it matters to the Jews" to "it's Holocaust denial".

Yeah. the Catholics allow the Catholics to perform ritual cannibalism, the Mormons allow the Mormon to perform ritual baptism, and so forth.  It's called religion.  It's nice for those for whom it is nice, I suppose.
