KBlaix,

I assumed from your post that you were batptist or something simliar, becuase I have many friends with your same beliefs and they are. (I know never assume!) I have no problem with your belifes. I was just trying to point out ( and I think I did so poorly) that while baptism as a child means nothing in your religion, it does have a meaning to others. Since Popcornbird was asking and she is not a christian, your answer could have been interpretted to mean it is a pointless thing to all christian religions. Maybe a better explain by you would have been, "while my religion does not recognize a baptsim as a child others do blah blah blah" I did not mean to offened or imply that I was offended. Just trying to clear up the point for a non-christian.

Does that make any sense?
