This has to be one of the dumbest rituals ever!

Let me get this straight.... a child molester has to say some magic words to convert ordinary water into "holy" water. The child molester then has to say more magic words as he dumps the "holy" water onto the baby's head. The purpose of this is to remove "original sin" from the baby. And the "original sin" was put there by the same deity you're praying to as the child molester removes the "sin"....

WTF?????

How can any reasonably intelligent adult human being think that this makes sense?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
