As a Mormon, I couldn't care less if the Catholic Church does anything on my behalf. I don't care if Baptists pray for my soul. I don't care if Atheists don't think of me at all. Why? Because it doesn't matter to me. It doesn't bother me...and folks of other faiths shouldn't give a second thought to what Mormons do with names of deceased individuals. If there is no afterlife, it's no skin of anyone's back. If there is an afterlife and the Baptists are right, I guess I'll burn eternally. If Mormons turn out to be correct, well...

I don't have a choice after I am dead. I am just dead. I know I will not be counted in the membership, but I will be in the organizations scrolls or records in the mountain. How about concentrating on converting people while they are alive and not when they are dead when they don't have a choice.

Those who want to accept it may...no one is forced. The Church does not use posthumous baptism figures to arrive at it's worldwide membership totals. The Church counts only those members who have been baptized and are still living. As a member of the LDS Church, should I be offended at the Roman Catholic practice of praying for the dead, or deceased ancestor's souls? Not one bit. I find it comforting to know that someone is praying for my deceased ancestors on the other side. How does posthumous baptisms demononstrate intolerance after a person dies? If anything it recognizes that their soul lives on and that death is not the end. You may simply "opt-out" after you are deceased by declining the ordinance performed on your behalf after you have died...it will take no effect. But I suspect you might have a change of heart.
