Baptism is given meaning so you should need to be an adult first...

But I personally see the whole thing as meaningless nonsense and nothing to worry about...

Its a shame so many people think that having water tipped over your head and being 'blessed' makes a difference...

The difference it makes is only due to the fact that people THINK that it makes a difference - its the meaning its given - in reality its just some water being tipped over your head and a few words!!

Really there is no reason to give meaning to it...but people do.
