Thus why this is a non-issue to me.

If I believe it's a sin to have a baptism, who are you to tell me I'm wrong? What you are saying is that my belief I could be sent to Mormon hell (heh, sorry I'm really just having fun with this now
) is incorrect because they are doing something they believe is good for me. Well, my belief is that they are doing something bad or wrong in my religion's eyes and therefore I don't know the consequences of this ritual. Maybe all mormons actually go to hell and they are bringing me with them. Nobody knows, but if I didn't decide to convert or become baptized when I'm alive, other people should not be making those faith decisions upon my death. So my reasoning is just as plausible as yours, yes?
For someone who thinks this is a non-issue you certainly have a lot to say about the procedure involved.
