I’ve been watching this controversy for years, and maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t for the life of me see why I — or anyone — should care what Mormons do in the privacy of their own temple. (As long as they’re not sacrificing children or something, obvously.) Do they think this “baptism” (the church I was raised in only baptised the living) has some effect on the soul of the deceased?

Could someone please enlighten me?
