Oh, please, hackneyed usage is irritatingly childish.  
-> 
-> Read up on the crap about baptizing the dead.  It's so that those "poor, 
-> un-mormon souls" are able to get into mormon heaven.

That there isn't one is your main objection. Wait! No! You object to the
idea that there is a Heaven or soul, which implies a lack of meaning for
baptism. So, If people would only pay attention to your research The Church
would quickly disband. As would many, around the world. Maybe you need a
microphone and a bigger speaker system. Your messages aren't making it.
Ever wonder why, other than the world is stupid and you are one of the few
who are not? Is there a possibility that this is what you are trying to
convince yourself of?    
-> 
-> Why on earth would, say a Lutheran, who was a proud and practicing
Lutheran 
-> all of his life, want to spend eternity with mormons?
Why would he not? They've got a far better layout than the Lutheran one,
down a there a cloud or two to the left...   
-> 
-> What they are doing is offensive to that person's memory.

When did you become an expert in this field?  When did you learn of this.
I know it was today but what time today? Now, I don't think graveyards are
a good idea. Cremation should be the main final act until someone finds a
better use for the molecules you free...I sincerely believe that Most
people disagree, which gives me no problems whatever. The likelihood of the
persistent of human consciousness gets from me a very low number...BUT just
perhaps a belief that it does, gives a lessening of the fear of death,
gives hope for meaning to a life not showing one...all kinds of things good
can be said about the belief. Communities arising, partaking in good
works...hell enjoyin' the music! :-) I've never seen an ugly flower, or a
religion I didn't find good in. I've never seen a polite atheist, but
that's a different topic :-)

  It denegrates

And what do you know of THAT?


  Hell, odds are that that person viewed mormonism 
-> as a cult.
Don't go to Vegas.

They started civilation, discovered astronomy, were a great civilized
people. Been there. Going back.
