To think you can 'proxy' baptize anyone

either before or after their death is a very silly thought to me. Had this person in life ever expressed a desire to become a Christian or a Morman? Not very likely. That my parents made this decision for me when I was an infant is high-handed enough. (I was baptized Catholic and according to doctrine, that makes it a done deal, something I can never back out of - I'm a 'lifer.' Thanks Mom, thanks Dad.) But to go around baptizing dead folks?
