Proxy Baptism

Lately there's a lot of talk about the posthumous baptisms by proxy, specifically on Anne Frank and Gandhi, and I can't stop searching for more information on the subject. I think it is wrong in every sense, immoral and ridiculously loutish.

Here's a lil somethin I found on HuffPost in a report on the recent findings on Gandhi's proxy baptism by the Mormons (I read this part over and over, I wish I could write like this):

"Each of us is innately divine, which is diametrically opposed to this concept that we are innately sinful and needing to accept Jesus as our savior in order to cleanse our soul," she said in an interview. "We do not believe there is only one way to salvation."

I myself do not advocate to any one religion, and at the same time I am neither atheist nor agnostic, I believe that I am simply a product of my parents' morals which mainly consist of three beautiful things; Love, honesty and loyalty.  Reading these articles which fight over religion of the living and the dead, however, have me thinking a lot on spirituality, about souls and about life and death.

I know what I believe, but at this moment in my life, I'm questioning if what I believe is enough to believe in.
