In Mormon doctrine, baptisms
for the
dead (as mentioned in the Bible itself) allows
for every person to have the same opportunities in the afterlife, according to their own agency and
choice; it demonstrates the
perfect mercy of a
perfect Father
for every one of his children.
And the
Dead Rising franchise is the
perfect choice to try this idea, as the irreverent tone of the narration allows
for any kind of unreal situations to be easily accepted as part of the reality of the game.
