Some Jewish leaders have protested this practice and the Mormon church has agreed to stop the practice as it applies to Jews. 

Bodies are not exhumed.

Why does it matter? They are dead. They might as well baptise a stump or a bug that ran into a windshield. Dead people don't care because they are fricking dead and can't care because they are dead.

Well if Mormans performed  a posthomous gay wedding between my two dead grandfathers I doubt they would recognize it and kiss each other. These Morman baptisms are hocus pocus make believe fantasy and that is he world they live in. I find it humorous and I feel that I have been a great beneficiary of genealogical research because of their superstitions.  I do respect the dead by honoring their past the way they would have perceived it but how some odd balls posthomously baptise them does not offend me.  

In  the ScrouisLouis  Church of Burros and Lizards I just baptised Section, Red Sox, and Banditio. I didn't wait until they died. I am sure their families are humiliated at their fantasy conversion which they should not because it is fantasy just like Morman baprtisms of the dead.

When someone pisses on something there is wet, yellow, urine all over it. When a Morman baptizes dead people nothing really happens even if Mormans think something has. It is their fantasy and besides that they are fantisizing baptism on a dead person who no longer exists. Performing a make-believe baptism on a person who no longer exists is hilarious to me.  I could go yo jail for pissing on a Morman or a Morman grave but I can not go to jail if I do a make believe baptism on a dead Morman who no longer exists. The Mormans are really just pissin in the wind.

You must not be reading my posts carefully because I was defending the Mormans doing fake baptisms on dead people. Liberals, Dems, and right-wing evangelicals who hate Mormans should not make thi an issue.

At least I believe in science unlike 50 % of Repubics.
