I am kind of new to Utah, and this kind of struck me funny how the Mormons baptize dead Jewish people. I have a couple honest questions on this...if you have any good answers, please let me know! I have already read another question related to this, and it seems that the bible sanctions this activity.
1. What benefit do the Mormons get from this? Is it to boost their church enrollment numbers? I don't see why this would be helpful, except to make them look like a more dominant religion than the cult that they are. I say cult because I think it takes a lot longer than a couple hundred years to become "mainstream".
2. Do they do this to other people? Say athiests or agnostics? Why, or why not?
Thank you for your time. To help you help me, know that I am not a believer in organized religion...I personally think it is the biggest scam on Earth, but that is my belief. Please don't be biased against me for that? My questions are out of honest curiosity.
