I've read many people defending Mormonism's zombie missionary work but the Hindus have the best offense - their souls could be in ants, tapirs or elephants! So baptizing these dead souls is offensive to Mother Nature!

I thought so too. Mormons - pissing off a religion way older than theirs because one of their greats had some influence in this world.

Like all the gajillions of dead Hindus without Mormon baptism are just waiting in prison for The Mormons - isn't it about time?

http://www.lds.org/topics/baptisms-for-the-dead?lang=eng
"Some people have misunderstood that when baptisms for the dead are performed, deceased persons are baptized into the Church against their will. This is not the case. Each individual has agency, or the right to choose. The validity of a baptism for the dead depends on the deceased person accepting it and choosing to accept and follow the Savior while residing in the spirit world. The names of deceased persons are not added to the membership records of the Church."

So if the reborn Hindu person is a person again they can accept Mormonism in real life. If they are in God's waiting room they can accept it there and hopefully move onto Nirvana.

That's great! Now let's get our hands on a big list of all who have died in the Holocaust.

Then why not just let the individuals of the spirit world baptize each other. Why even bother with dead-dunking on this side.

He needs those dead to take a bath in His name with a borrowed body of flesh and bone.
