How do Mormons justify baptizing (dead) Jewish holocaust victims? Don't the Mormons see the travesty of their conduct?

Originally posted by @667joeThis is baptism by proxy, you do realise this? Quite a few Christian denominations practice this. Baptistising jews by proxy seems odd, but then the Mormon religion is relatively odd.

Originally posted by @667joeWhat Christians now call the Bible mentions that practice, as well as the Septuagint which has a record of it as well. All the fine details concerning this life, death and the hereafter is still a mystery.

Originally posted by @wolfgang59To a non-believer like me, "whacky" Mormon stuff is much of a muchness with sonship's stuff about 'eating Christ' or 'marrying Jesus' or Dasa's stuff about 'reincarnation as an insect' or galveston75's stuff about exactly 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses going to heaven to rule as kings and priests over the earth'.

Originally posted by @667joeIs it the Mormons who are upset?
Apparently, they are not meaningless to the Mormons who do it and to the families of the victims!
Originally posted by @667joeIf the people upset about this believe the mormons are doing nothing then why be upset.
No.
The Mormons think they are saving souls and thus doing good deeds. They are of course stripping the dignity away from people who have already been victimized.
