This to me, reminds me of a child who is upset that you just sat on their imaginary friend who was just using that chair. "How dare you?! mr. Binky was sitting there first!" Which, by extension, makes this whole thing about people getting upset over other people baptising people who are dead into a wacky ball-pit religion, very similar to third-graders screaming at each other over which pokémon could beat all the others in a fight.
I understand you cannot see the silliness of this whole thing. That you can't understand that even from a position of "faith," it's ludicrous (what, does the Mormon Church have the magic power to overrule YHWH?) However, please don't act as if I have to respect you for your lack of ability.
"You have to respect my opinion that Nazis live in the hollow earth!"
"You have to respect my inability to understand basic biology!"
"You have to respect my belief that Obama will institute death panels!"
See? "I believe something!" does NOT translate into "You have to be respectful of what I believe!"
It looks to me as if you are wasting a LOT of energy and effort on ranting about the idea of someone's immortal soul being sent to the planet Kolob, when you COULD be, I dunno, making yourself a tasty snack or something.
