People simply reject the doctrine. It happens all the time. This is how religions gradually change over time. I would encourage people of all religions to reject all cruel, hateful, or demeaning texts and narratives—and this applies to Christians as well.

So do you think “this applies to” Mormons as well ???
What about the proxy necro baptisms that Mormons do in their members only temples claiming that dead Christians benefit from a different religion ???
This obscene practice is also called “doing the templer work” or “temple ordinances”
Heres a very recent article from a MORMON website...March 2. 2012
First Presidency Issues Direction on Names Submitted for Temple Ordinances
Salt Lake City — The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a letter on 29 February reiterating policies concerning submission of names for proxy temple ordinances.
The letter will be read to all Church congregations worldwide. The letter states:
We would like to reiterate the policies first stated in 1995 concerning the submission of names for proxy temple ordinances:
Our preeminent obligation is to seek out and identify our own ancestors. Those whose names are submitted for proxy temple ordinances should be related to the submitter.
Without exception, Church members must not submit for proxy temple ordinances any names from unauthorized groups, such as celebrities and Jewish Holocaust victims. If members do so, they may forfeit their New FamilySearch privileges.
Other corrective action may also be taken.
Members are encouraged to participate in FamilySearch indexing which is vital to family history and temple work.
Bishops are asked to post this letter on their meetinghouse bulletin boards. Church members may seek the assistance of the family history consultants in their area for additional information, if needed. Name submission policies are also clearly stated on New.FamilySearch.org.
We appreciate the faithful adherence to these policies by all members of the Church.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas S. Monson
