You can always count on the Mormons to do silly religious things bolstered by flimsy theological reasoning. One of my favorites if the posthumous baptism of non-Mormons.
I can relate to the Jews discontent here. I was once informed by a friend who liked me that she would be praying that my heart would be adjusted to consider the possibility of being romantically involved with her as well. I was like, “wait a second, don’t you get God involved with this! I don’t want to like you! Stop!” It irked me. I suppose there was nothing wrong with it, I was just afraid that God would listen and I’d have to do something I didn’t want to do. I further suppose that I wouldn’t have considered this to be a problem if He did make some heart change to facilitate my affections, but it bothered me nonetheless. Sovereignty, free will, self-determination, the power of prayer…it’s a tacky situation.
Meanwhile, I refer back to Gamaliel’s advice as recorded in Acts. If God is for this sort of thing, you don’t want to be against it. If he’s against it, you don’t care because it’ll go away on its own. As an aside, there is a lot to be learned from Second-Temple Jewish wisdom, it is the backdrop against which Christianity grew, and tremendously influential on the thought patterns of people like Paul…who incidentally learned under Gamaliel prior to his conversion.
So the Mormons baptize dead people, presumably to bump them somewhere in their heaven hierarchy. This goes against both flavors of Christian salvation theology. It is neither an acceptance of God via free will, nor a predestined regeneration via election. It doesn’t require faith in anything, let alone saving faith in Christ. Mormonism is a submarine with a bunch of screen doors haphazardly drilled in the hull. Unfortunately, there’s no back door into heaven. Even if there were, baptism is not prerequisite for salvation either. It’s another one of those times when you visualize God wringing his hands up in heaven “drats, if only she’d found a baptismal fount before she died I’d totally let her in! Well, what a shame. Hell fire it is…”
By the way, as another aside, I still get hits every 6 months which include searches for “Hanna”, “Jews”, “Judaism”, and so on. I appreciate someone’s diligence. You’re fighting the good fight, even if nobody on this end ever realized there was a battle to be fought.

I doubt it’s Hanna herself (or family) doing the googling. It’s probably just one of those things that gets brought up in passing at parties, and the next day the friend-of-a-friend decides to google it for the full account. We do have it quite nicely hyperlinked in an easily-navigable, user-friendly format, you know. If I were Hanna and someone asked me about it, I’d just be like, “google it.”
