It looks like this baby was just pulled from the womb wearing a diaper.

    Kid looks a little miffed about being baptized! I know I would be if someone made that choice for me!

    Religion is a scary thing even for adults. Can you imagine what a baby was feeling with being "drowned" in a tub of water? "OMG- THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL ME AND I JUST GOT HERE!"

       Babtismal tubs here are pre-heated and temperate. The childs redness indicating elevated bloob pressure tells me that was an icewater dunk..

        What a cruel way to baptize a baby. Is it a church or a cult? That's freekin abuse!!!
