re: #238 darthstar

Baptism is supposed to be more symbolic than anything else. It’s not like they’re checking a tire for air leaks. You just need to drizzle a little water over the person…I never understood full immersion baptisms - even for adults - especially for adults, actually. Grow the fuck up.

It’s not symbolic for Catholics—it’s a critical element of salvation. Failure to perform it, or a couple exotic variations, puts the soul pretty well beyond the pale.
