    I’m not sure babies CAN be christian. Isn’t a central tenant of the whole thing that you CHOOSE god by having faith? A case could be made for a 13 or 14 year old, but a baby can’t really consent to something on that scale. I remember being told once that babies too young to decide automatically go to heaven, so… Why are they against abortion?

    It’s almost like there’s no logic at all.

      It sort of feels like whoever wrote this thinks christianity and atheism are like ethnic groups and they are at war with each other.

        Also that atheists need to be believed in? This person is nuts.

      Then why baptize babies? I’m pretty sure this is a difference in doctrine between denominations.

      They get baptized at birth to save them from limbo. I think the free will bit doesn’t count until you’re able to have one.
