Exactly. If religion is a belief system, you can't be converted to a different belief simply by being baptised beyond your control. You have to change your beliefs. If you still don't believe Mormonism makes sense, you're not a Mormon. Objecting to this practice only lends creedence to their bizarre beliefs -- you're putting stock in it.
While I think that what the LDS church is doing here is wrong, I don't think it's worth getting upset about. If you're Jewish, you're Jewish. A baptism by proxy isn't going to change that . . . unless the Mormons are right.
